The U.S. military has conducted multiple strikes on alleged drug trafficking boats in the Pacific, resulting in the deaths of 14 individuals and leaving one survivor. This escalation of military action is part of a broader campaign against drug trafficking networks in the region, with President Trump asserting a more aggressive stance in the war on drugs. The strikes have raised significant concerns regarding their legality and the humanitarian impact on affected nations, particularly in the Caribbean, where fear grips communities in the wake of these military operations.
