US strikes another suspected drug smuggling ship in eastern Pacific, 1 casualty reported

The US military said it struck another suspected drug smuggling vessel in international waters in the eastern Pacific Ocean on Monday, killing one person.

At the direction of US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, "Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic attack on a low-profile vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations in international waters," US Southern Command wrote in a post on X.

The attacks brought the total death toll to 105 in 29 operations since September, when the Trump administration began targeting ships it claims are operated by designated terrorist organizations.

The campaign has attracted the attention of lawmakers and legal experts, who question whether the operations comply with US and international law.

Some critics argue that the use of deadly force in international waters without due process constitutes extrajudicial killing./ CNA
