Six more people died. Since the military operation began on September 2, the United States has committed 76 extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific. There were a total of 19 attacks, including two in which two suspected drug ships were blown up in a single attack.
“Yesterday, at the direction of President Trump, two ballistic missile attacks were conducted against two vessels operated by designated terrorist organizations,” Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said Monday.
“Both attacks took place in international waters, and each boat had three narco-terrorists on board. All six were killed. There were no U.S. military personnel injured,” Hegseth concluded, again without providing any evidence of the cargo the boats were said to be carrying, the identities of the alleged “narco-terrorists,” their ties to drug lords, or the routes the boats allegedly took to reach the United States.
The attack follows two attacks last week on November 4 and 6, in which a total of five people were killed.
