US military says it killed four in strike on alleged drug-smuggling boat in the Caribbean
- The U.S. military attacked a boat suspected of drug smuggling in the Caribbean, killing four people.
- This strike is part of a broader campaign against alleged traffickers in Latin America by the Trump administration.
- Since the campaign began, at least 227 people have been killed in 68 strikes by the U.S. military.
- The military did not provide evidence that the targeted vessel was transporting drugs.
- The strike occurred shortly after another attack on a vessel in the eastern Pacific Ocean.
The U.S. military conducted an attack on a boat suspected of being used for drug smuggling in the Caribbean Sea on Tuesday, resulting in the deaths of four individuals. This operation is part of the Trump administration's ongoing campaign against alleged drug traffickers in Latin America, which has led to at least 227 fatalities in 68 strikes since its inception nearly a year ago.
U.S. Southern Command stated that the military targeted the alleged drug traffickers along known smuggling routes, but did not provide evidence that the vessel was involved in drug transportation. A video shared on social media showed a moving boat followed by a flash, presumably related to the strike.
This latest attack follows a strike two days earlier in the eastern Pacific Ocean, where two individuals accused of drug trafficking were killed. The U.S. military's campaign had been paused for over two months prior to these recent actions, and the Trump administration is seeking agreements with allied nations to extend its operations against criminal groups in Latin America.
美国军方称在加勒比海打击涉嫌贩毒船只时击毙四人
美国军方于周二对一艘涉嫌用于贩毒的船只进行了攻击，导致四人死亡。这次行动是特朗普政府针对拉丁美洲涉嫌贩毒者的持续行动的一部分，自该行动开始近一年以来，已导致至少227人死亡。
美国南方司令部表示，军方在已知的走私路线沿线针对了涉嫌贩毒者，但没有提供证据证明该船只参与了毒品运输。社交媒体上分享的一段视频显示了一艘移动的船只，随后出现了一道闪光，可能与此次打击有关。
此次打击发生在两天前对东太平洋一艘船只的攻击之后，后者导致两名被指控贩毒的人死亡。在这次最新行动之前，美国军方的行动已暂停超过两个月，特朗普政府正在寻求与盟国达成协议，以扩大对拉丁美洲犯罪团伙的打击。
