US says it killed four in strike on vessel in the Caribbean
The strike was the 69th in the campaign, which the military says has killed at least 231 people since last year.
- On Saturday, the U.S. military killed four people in a strike on a vessel in the Caribbean Sea, alleging the boat was involved in drug trafficking.
- This strike continues a year-long campaign targeting those President Donald Trump calls "narcoterrorists," with the administration claiming the U.S. is in "armed conflict" with cartels in Latin America.
- U.S. Southern Command posted on Twitter that "Confirmed intelligence revealed the vessel's active involvement in narco-trafficking," though the military provided no evidence the vessel was carrying drugs.
- Labeled "extrajudicial killings" by rights groups, the latest incident brings the total death toll from 69 boat strikes to at least 231 since the campaign began.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recently announced deals for joint military operations in Latin American countries, though Guatemala has denied reaching any such agreement with the United States.
