TL;DR

The US Southern Command says it struck a low-profile vessel suspected of narco-trafficking in the Eastern Pacific, killing two people, as part of Operation Southern Spear aimed at disrupting cartels. The move is framed as a demonstration of lethal precision and commitment to protecting the U.S. homeland, but rights groups warn of possible extrajudicial killings and a Pentagon inspector general review of targeting procedures.
