Caribbean Strike Kills Four in U.S. Drug-Boat Takedown, Expands Campaign

The U.S. military says it killed four people aboard a boat suspected of drug smuggling in the Caribbean, part of a broader anti-drug campaign that has killed at least 231 people in 69 strikes over about a year. The Pentagon offered limited evidence the vessel was trafficking drugs. The administration aims to broaden operations on land with regional allies, while critics question legality and point to ‘double-tap’ strikes as potential war crimes.
