U.S. Strikes Another Alleged Drug-Trafficking Boat

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military says it has carried out another deadly strike on a vessel accused of trafficking drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean. U.S. Southern Command said Thursday on social media that the boat “was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations.” It said the strike killed two people. A video linked to the post shows a boat moving through the water before exploding in flames. Thursday’s attack raises the death toll from the Trump administration’s strikes on alleged drug boats to 128 people.
