US Strike in Eastern Pacific Claims Three Lives

The US military announced on Sunday that three men were killed when it struck a boat in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. The boat was allegedly "engaged in narco-trafficking operations." Military video footage shows the vessel moving swiftly before an explosion engulfs it in flames. This incident is the latest in dozens of similar attacks on suspected drug boats in recent months.

Campaign Death Toll Rises to 185

This recent strike brings the death toll from the US campaign against narco-trafficking to at least 185, according to a tally compiled by Agence France-Presse. The ongoing operations underscore the United States' intensified efforts to combat drug smuggling in the region. The rising number of fatalities reflects the persistent and often violent nature of the war on drugs.
