U.S. Military Strikes Raise Legal Questions

U.S. military strikes in the eastern Pacific have killed at least 211 people since September, targeting boats allegedly linked to drug smuggling — but critics say evidence is lacking and the operations may violate international law, especially after a second strike killed survivors. The administration frames these actions as part of an “armed conflict” with cartels to curb drug flows and overdose deaths, though experts note fentanyl’s main route is land-based, with chemicals sourced from Asia. Lawmakers demand unedited footage and question the legality of repeated strikes, including the controversial second attack that allegedly targeted those already wounded.
