The US military struck a boat in the Caribbean Sea, killing three people. This attack is part of ongoing US operations targeting vessels suspected of drug trafficking. The US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) confirmed a "lethal kinetic strike" on Friday that caused the deaths. Since September 2025, US forces have attacked around 40 vessels in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean. These attacks have killed at least 133 people, including two killed earlier this week. The US repeatedly claims it targets drug traffickers but has yet to provide evidence. International law and human rights experts argue these attacks are extrajudicial killings. Media tallies confirm dozens of deadly strikes. We will update this breaking story soon.
