“The U.S. military says it struck three more alleged drug-carrying boats in the Eastern Pacific on Monday, the latest in a campaign of vessel strikes ordered by the Trump administration that have [murdered] at least 95 people in 25 boats. Monday’s strikes [murdered] eight men across three boats, the U.S. military’s Southern Command said in a post on X. It alleged the [victims] were ‘male narco-terrorists’ and the boats were ‘transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and were engaged in narco-trafficking.’ The strike was authorized by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Southern Command said.” (12/15/25)
