In a significant escalation of military operations, the U.S. military conducted multiple strikes on alleged drug trafficking vessels in the eastern Pacific, resulting in a death toll that has now surpassed 200. The latest round of attacks, marking the fourth such instance this week, involved strikes that left three individuals dead, pushing the overall toll to at least 205. Despite these aggressive measures, experts have pointed out that the U.S. has done little to curtail the drug trade, raising serious concerns about the effectiveness of the campaign and the humanitarian implications of these strikes.
