U.S. Navy Strikes Boat in Pacific

Another U.S. military strike in the eastern Pacific targets a suspected drug smuggling boat, killing two and leaving six survivors — adding to over sixty such operations since September, which have now claimed more than 210 lives. While officials frame these actions as necessary to curb drug trafficking and overdoses, critics question their legality and effectiveness, especially since fentanyl often moves overland from Mexico. Controversy deepens as lawmakers demand unedited footage from a prior strike, following reports of a second strike on survivors — a move the White House justifies as self-defense. Legal experts warn the second strike may violate international law, and the Pentagon’s inspector general is now reviewing targeting procedures — though not the strikes’ legality.
