U.S. Military Strikes Target Drug Traffickers in the Eastern Pacific, Death Toll Surpasses 200

The U.S. military continues its operations against alleged drug-trafficking vessels in the Eastern Pacific, with recent strikes resulting in the deaths of multiple suspects. The latest reports indicate that at least 200 people have been killed in these operations, drawing criticism from various human rights organizations, including Amnesty International, which has condemned the strikes as extrajudicial killings. Despite the escalating death toll, experts argue that these military actions have not substantially deterred cocaine trafficking to the United States. The U.S. Southern Command has released videos documenting these strikes, which have raised concerns over the effectiveness and morality of the current strategy.
