US says it killed four in strike on vessel in the Caribbean
U.S. Southern Command said the boat was on an established drug-trafficking route and that confirmed intelligence linked it to narco-trafficking.
- 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.
