WATCH | US conducts lethal strikes on alleged drug boat in Caribbean Sea

The US Armed Forces carried out a strike on a boat in the Caribbean Sea, killing three people suspected of drug trafficking. The US Southern Command confirmed the operation, stating that the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes. The campaign, initiated under the Donald Trump administration, has resulted in at least 181 deaths since early September. Critics have questioned the legality of the boat strikes, as the military has not provided evidence confirming the targeted boats were carrying illegal drugs. The US has intensified its military presence in the region, justifying the attacks as necessary to stem the flow of drugs into the US. At least six such strikes have been reported in April, bringing the total toll to at least 180 people killed.
