The American army recently carried out an attack on some vessels in the eastern Pacific Ocean, resulting in the death of five people accused of involvement in drug trafficking.

This operation, announced by Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth, is part of the Trump administration's military campaign against drug traffickers. Hegseth stated that the three "narco-terrorists" killed were involved in illegal activities in international waters.

The attacks have raised fears of escalation of military actions in the region, occurring against the backdrop of an increase in American military presence in the Caribbean. Although the administration has carried out several attacks, including in the Caribbean, details about the evidence supporting the drug trafficking allegations have been limited. Trump has claimed that these actions save American lives, but legal experts contest the motives for the attacks, suggesting that the Coast Guard should have been responsible for such operations.
