US Military Kills 3 Drug Smugglers in Eastern Pacific
Kathmandu. US military killed 3 drug smugglers in an attack on a boat in the Eastern Pacific Ocean on Friday, officials said.
This is the third fatal attack in the past week, and the number of deaths since the Trump administration began attacks in September has reached at least 198, AFP has reported.
In a social media post on X, US Southern Command stated that the ship was involved in a narco-trafficking operation in the Eastern Pacific.
Video footage of the attack posted on social media shows a ship sitting in the open sea being sunk by a large explosion.
The US military launched Operation “Southern Spear” in early September, and President Donald Trump said the US is at war with drug smugglers operating from Latin America.
Legal experts and rights groups have said that US attacks targeting civilians who do not pose an immediate threat to the US are causing extrajudicial killings.
