US strike on an alleged drug boat kills 2, leaves 6 survivors, in the eastern Pacific Ocean

The U.S. military conducted a strike on an alleged drug-smuggling boat in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing two people and leaving six survivors. This marks over 60 such strikes since early September, resulting in more than 210 deaths, with critics questioning the legality and effectiveness of the campaign. A follow-up strike on survivors was confirmed by the White House as 'self-defense,' while the Pentagon investigates targeting procedures.
