"The US Southern Command announced on X that it had conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations, resulting in four deaths. This brings the total number of deaths to at least 163 since the defense department began attacking alleged narco-terrorists last September."
"Despite framing the strikes as attacks against narco-terrorism, the defense department has provided little evidence on whether the vessels were actually transporting drugs, leading to condemnation as extrajudicial killings by the UN and other humanitarian organizations."
The US Southern Command announced a lethal strike on a vessel in the Caribbean, resulting in four deaths. This operation is part of ongoing efforts against narco-terrorism, with a total of at least 163 deaths reported since last September. The command claimed the vessel was involved in narco-trafficking, although evidence was not provided. The strikes have faced criticism as extrajudicial killings from humanitarian organizations. A 2020 DEA report indicated that most cocaine entering the US comes via the Pacific, not the Caribbean.
