Three Dead in US Airstrike on Speedboat in Eastern Pacific

U.S. armed forces launched an airstrike against a speedboat allegedly involved in drug trafficking in the eastern Pacific, resulting in the deaths of three people. According to SOUTHCOM, the vessel was engaged in drug trafficking, and those on board were labeled "narco-terrorists." Since September, the U.S. has carried out more than 40 raids against vessels purportedly involved in drug trafficking, with at least 147 deaths, amidst a lack of presented evidence regarding their illegal activities.
