The U.S. military carried out a deadly strike on a vessel accused of drug trafficking in the eastern Pacific, killing two people and leaving one survivor, according to U.S. Southern Command. The attack was conducted under Operation Southern Spear, a campaign the Trump administration says is aimed at disrupting narcotics smuggling routes into the United States. The strike marks the first known attack on alleged drug-trafficking boats since the U.S. operation that captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. The Coast Guard was notified to conduct search-and-rescue operations as scrutiny grows over the rising death toll and legal concerns surrounding the campaign.
