US Military Says Four Killed in Caribbean Vessel Strike

The U.S. military struck a vessel in the Caribbean suspected of drug trafficking, killing four people as part of a broader campaign led by President Trump against alleged narco-terrorists, bringing total reported deaths to at least 231 across 69 strikes. While the administration touts the campaign as necessary to curb drug flow, critics and rights groups label the operations extrajudicial killings and note limited publicly available evidence supporting the targets or outcomes, with reports of expansion plans for joint actions in Latin America.
