WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military says it launched another strike on a boat accused of ferrying drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing two people Friday. The Trump administration’s campaign of blowing up alleged drug-trafficking vessels in Latin American waters has persisted since early September and killed at least 183 people in total. Other strikes have taken place in the Caribbean Sea. The military has not provided evidence that any of the vessels were carrying drugs. U.S. Southern Command posted a video on X Friday night showing a boat floating in the water before a explosion left it in flames.
