Eastern Pacific Ocean
The United States military killed eight people in strikes on three vessels in the Eastern Pacific today. United States Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) stated the boats were engaged in “narco-trafficking”.
The strikes occurred on three separate boats in the region. According to SOUTHCOM, the vessels were targeted as part of counter-narcotics operations.
The incident comes as the United States increases its military presence in Trinidad and Tobago. Tensions in the region have risen recently; Venezuela recently accused Trinidad and Tobago of participating in the US seizure of an oil tanker.
In a related escalation of rhetoric regarding the “drug war”, US President Donald Trump branded fentanyl a “weapon of mass destruction” earlier today.
