U.S. strike on alleged drug boat kills 4 in the Caribbean Sea, military says
The strike is part of Operation Southern Spear, a campaign that has killed at least 163 alleged narco-terrorists and targeted 47 vessels since September 2025, U.S. Southern Command said.
- On Wednesday, United States forces conducted a lethal strike in the Caribbean Sea, killing four people, with Southern Command describing the operation as "applying total systemic friction on the cartels."
- The strike marks the latest operation in "Operation Southern Spear," a campaign targeting alleged drug traffickers that has killed at least 163 people since September; President Donald Trump justified the tactics by asserting The United States is in "armed conflict" with cartels.
- Families of victims from Colombia, Trinidad, and Tobago have filed wrongful death lawsuits in Massachusetts, alleging those killed were fishermen and workers, not terrorists, though the administration has yet to identify the victims publicly.
- United Nations special rapporteur Ben Saul criticized the campaign as a "phony war" on so-called narcoterrorism that "flagrantly violates human rights," while the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights began holding hearings to address the campaign's implications.
