US forces have intensified their military campaign against alleged drug trafficking, conducting multiple strikes on boats in the Pacific Ocean. The latest operation marks the eighth strike, reportedly killing two individuals aboard an alleged drug-carrying vessel. This escalation comes amid heightened discussions regarding the legality and implications of such military actions, with Congressional Democrats calling for hearings on the matter. The Trump administration claims these efforts are crucial for national security and combating drug cartels. Meanwhile, survivors from recent strikes are being returned to their home countries, as concerns grow over the impact of these military actions on civilians.
