US military attacks another vessel in Caribbean, killing two

The US military says it has attacked a vessel in the Caribbean Sea, killing two individuals on board.

In a statement posted on X on Sunday, the military claimed intelligence confirmed the vessel was traveling along known drug-trafficking routes in the region and was actively engaged in narcotics operations.

The occupants were allegedly linked to designated terrorist organizations, though officials did not identify which groups were involved.

Six male survivors were recovered following the strike, according to the US Southern Command. The military said it has notified the US Coast Guard, which is now coordinating search-and-rescue efforts for the surviving individuals.

The operation, conducted by US Southern Command, did not result in any injuries to American service members, officials said.

US military kills 3 more people aboard vessel in eastern Pacific Ocean

A US military strike kills 3 more people aboard an alleged “drug boat” in the eastern Pacific Ocean.

Late last month, the US military killed three people aboard a boat in the eastern Pacific Ocean, claiming that the vessel was engaged in drug trafficking activities.

The use of active-duty military forces to target suspected drug vessels marks a significant shift from longstanding US practice, which has traditionally relied on Coast Guard and law enforcement agencies for maritime interdictions.

The Trump administration has defended such attacks as necessary measures against “narco-terrorists,” while human rights groups have condemned them as “extrajudicial killings.”

The death toll of the months-long series of attacks in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean has risen to at least 204 people.
