"The US Southern Command said that it 'conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations' which killed 'male narco-terrorists.'"
"The Trump administration says it is combating what it calls 'narco-terrorists' in Latin America and has carried out repeated strikes on suspected smuggling boats since September."
"However, critics have questioned the legality of the operations, pointing out that the Trump administration has offered little evidence to support its claims of killing 'narco-terrorists.'"
The US military killed three men in a strike on a drug-trafficking boat in the Caribbean, part of a campaign that has resulted in at least 180 deaths since last year. The US Southern Command stated the strike targeted a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations engaged in narcotics trafficking. The Trump administration claims to combat narco-terrorists in Latin America, increasing military presence in the region. Critics question the legality of these operations and the evidence supporting claims of killing narco-terrorists.
