The U.S. military has increased its offensive against suspected drug trafficking activities in the eastern Pacific, resulting in the death of six alleged narco-terrorists in recent airstrikes on two boats. Secretary Hegseth announced that these actions are part of a broader campaign against illegal narcotics smuggling. However, the strikes have sparked ethical concerns and debates regarding their legality under international law. Critics, including former legal officials, argue that these military actions may amount to crimes against humanity. The death toll from the U.S. campaign against drug boats has reportedly risen to 76, raising alarm over the implications for international maritime law and the safety of commercial shipping in the region.
