US strike on an alleged drug boat kills 3 in the eastern Pacific Ocean

The U.S. military attacked an alleged drug-smuggling boat in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing three people as part of the Trump administration's campaign against Latin American traffickers. The strike raised the total number of deaths in such operations to 211 since September, with the military citing known smuggling routes but not providing evidence of drug trafficking. Critics question the legality and effectiveness of the strikes, while the Pentagon investigates whether targeting procedures were followed.
