the US Southern Command has carried out another strike in the Caribbean, targeting three vessels accused of drug trafficking in international waters. The operation resulted in the deaths of three individuals, whom US authorities labeled as narcotics smugglers.
This latest action follows a series of similar operations by the US military in Latin American waters under the pretext of combating drug trafficking. CBS News estimates that dozens of vessels have been destroyed in recent months, with approximately 100 fatalities reported.
Human rights organizations have condemned these operations, describing them as extrajudicial executions and potential war crimes. Critics argue that the US military’s aggressive tactics violate international law and escalate regional tensions.
