By the order of the U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, the U.S. military launched air and sea attacks on 3 boats in the Eastern Pacific alleged to be carrying drugs and connected to terrorist groups.
Medianews.az, citing foreign media, reports that 8 people aboard the boats were killed as a result of the attack.
According to the U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM), the operation was carried out in international waters. It was reported that there were 3 people on the first boat, 2 on the second boat, and 3 on the third boat.
After U.S. President Donald Trump's directive envisioning more active use of the military against Latin American drug cartels, military operations in the region have intensified. The recent attacks have sparked discussions in the international community with allegations of "extrajudicial executions."
