The US military conducted an airstrike on a vessel in the eastern Pacific, killing two people. SOUTHCOM claimed the boat was operated by narco-terrorists using known drug trafficking routes. A video showed the boat exploding after being hit. This marks the second consecutive day of deadly strikes. Since September, US forces have killed at least 170 people in dozens of Pacific and Caribbean operations. Human rights groups accuse the US of extrajudicial killings targeting civilians.
