The United States attacked two ships suspected of drug trafficking in the Pacific, causing the death of six people.

On Sunday, the United States conducted attacks in the eastern Pacific, targeting two ships suspected of drug trafficking, according to statements from Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth. Following the operation, six people in boats were killed. Hegseth stated that the ships were already known to intelligence services as being involved in illegal activities. Experts have classified these attacks as 'extrajudicial executions', considering the high number of casualties in the campaign against drug traffickers initiated by the Trump administration. President Trump justified the actions, stating that the U.S. is in an 'armed conflict' with drug cartels, viewing the ships as being operated by terrorist organizations. Lawmakers from both parties have called for more information about the targeted individuals and the operations conducted.
