U.S. Military Targets Alleged Drug Vessels in Pacific and Caribbean

The U.S. Southern Command announced on social media that on the night of February 16, American forces attacked three vessels in the Eastern Pacific and Caribbean, resulting in the deaths of 11 individuals. According to Jin10, these operations are part of a series of assaults on what the U.S. terms 'drug trafficking ships' since early September last year. However, the U.S. government has not released any evidence to substantiate claims that these targets were involved in drug trafficking.
