US Strikes on Drug Trafficking Vessels Result in Three Deaths

The US military conducted another strike against a speedboat in the Caribbean, resulting in the deaths of three individuals. This operation is part of a campaign that began in September 2025 and has resulted in at least 133 deaths and the destruction of 39 vessels. The legality of the strikes, which target drug cartels, is strongly contested, with the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights labeling them “extrajudicial executions.” Furthermore, the Trump administration has not provided concrete evidence linking the vessels to illegal activities. Additionally, a US military invasion of Venezuela was reported, leading to the arrest of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife.
