US says two killed in boat strike as toll climbs over 180

The US military has said it killed two people in a strike on a suspected drug-trafficking vessel in the Eastern Pacific, as part of its ongoing campaign against what it calls “narco-terrorists” in Latin America. The US Southern Command stated that the vessel was operated by “Designated Terrorist Organizations” and was moving along known narcotics routes when it was targeted in a “lethal kinetic strike.” Officials said intelligence confirmed involvement in drug-trafficking activities.
