The United States military reported striking another boat in the eastern Pacific Ocean, resulting in the deaths of two people and one survivor. The incident, which occurred on Friday, is part of a series of attacks in recent months. According to the US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM), the boat was allegedly involved in drug trafficking. The US Coast Guard has been notified to launch a search and rescue mission. The US has been targeting alleged smuggling boats since early September, leading to debates about the legality of the operations. Legal experts and rights groups suggest that the strikes could be considered extrajudicial killings.
