The U.S. military strikes another vessel suspected of transporting drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean, according to multiple outlets citing U.S. officials. Reports describe the incident as part of a longer U.S. campaign targeting alleged drug-smuggling boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific. The Washington Times and ABC News report that two people are killed in the strike. Other coverage varies on the casualty count: the New York Post and some other reports cite three deaths, while MSNBC reports one death. Sky News says the strike kills one person and triggers a rescue operation for two survivors. The Guardian likewise reports two deaths and says the targeted boat follows a known smuggling route. The Hindu says U.S. Southern Command posts social media video footage of the boat before an explosion. Separately, MSNBC notes that a Pentagon watchdog is reviewing whether the military followed proper targeting and procedure frameworks in past strikes on alleged drug-smuggling boats.
