US says three killed in boat strike as campaign toll hits at least 185

(AFP/Al Arabiya) The US military said Sunday that three men were killed when it struck a boat “engaged in narco-trafficking operations” in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. This latest strike — which follows dozens of similar attacks in recent months — brings the US campaign’s death toll to at least 185, according to a tally compiled by AFP. As with many previous attacks, the US military’s Southern Command said on X that the boat hit was “operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations” and that “intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes.” – US says three killed in boat strike as campaign toll hits at least 185
