U.S. strikes another drug-boat in Pacific as toll climbs beyond 200

TL;DR Summary
The U.S. military conducted another strike on a drug-smuggling boat in the eastern Pacific, killing three and pushing the death toll to 202 in a week of attacks. Washington says the targets are narco-trafficking operations tied to designated terrorists, but rights groups warn the strikes amount to unlawful extrajudicial killings and the administration has provided no definitive evidence of trafficking. The operation followed a meeting between Gen. Donovan and Cuban military leaders near Guantánamo Bay, and the military released color footage of the strike.
