On X/Twitter, the US Southern Command announced a lethal strike on a go-fast vessel navigating known narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean. The strike, described as kinetic, resulted in the deaths of four individuals described by the US as narco-terrorists. The intelligence supporting this claim was not elaborated upon. President Donald Trump's administration maintains that the targeted vessels were carrying narcotics.
Since September 2025, US strikes on such vessels in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific have claimed over 220 lives. Critics, including Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and UN experts, have questioned the strikes' legality, labeling them as unlawful extrajudicial killings. Ben Saul, a UN special rapporteur on human rights and counterterrorism, believes there are reasonable grounds to consider these attacks as crimes against humanity under customary international law.
The American Civil Liberties Union has criticized the administration's assertions against the targeted individuals as unsubstantiated and fear-mongering.
