Oct 30, 2025 10:58 am CST

The US military conducted another deadly strike in the eastern Pacific, killing four people on a vessel allegedly involved in drug trafficking. This operation continues President Trump's controversial anti-narcotics campaign that has resulted in at least 62 fatalities, with Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth claiming the targeted vessel was operating along known trafficking routes. Despite releasing footage of these strikes, the US government has yet to provide concrete evidence supporting their claims about the vessels' involvement in drug smuggling activities.
