The US military sank a vessel suspected of drug trafficking, resulting in two deaths and one survivor. The attack is part of "Operation Southern Spear".

On Friday, the US military carried out an attack on a vessel suspected of drug trafficking in the eastern Pacific Ocean, sinking it and causing the death of two people, with one confirmed survivor. This attack was ordered by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and is part of the "Operation Southern Spear" campaign, which has led to the deaths of at least 117 people in similar attacks.

Although American officials claim that the purpose of these attacks is to reduce drug trafficking, there are controversies regarding the real intentions, including the removal of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. The pace of attacks has decreased this year, and Friday's attack is the first since Maduro's capture. Criticism from Democratic lawmakers suggests that some attacks, including those that left survivors, could constitute war crimes.
