The American army attacked a ship suspected of drug trafficking in the Pacific, resulting in six deaths.

The United States launched a new attack in the Pacific Ocean on Sunday against a vessel suspected of drug trafficking, resulting in six deaths, according to an announcement made by the U.S. Military Command for Latin America and the Caribbean (SOUTHCOM). This operation is part of a broader campaign that has been ongoing for several months, resulting in a total death toll of at least 150 since September.

Authorities confirmed that the vessel was using known routes for drug trafficking and was involved in narcotrafficking activities. The military released a video recording of the attack, showing a devastating explosion.

However, the administration of former President Donald Trump did not provide clear evidence to support the trafficking allegations. The campaign has generated controversy regarding the legality of the actions, being criticized by experts and UN officials for extrajudicial executions.
