U.S. Strikes Vessel In Eastern Pacific, Killing 2 People

U.S. forces have struck another vessel in the eastern Pacific, killing two people accused of trafficking drugs. U.S. Southern Command announced the strike early Monday, and it's the first in about two months. The death toll from the Trump administration’s nearly yearlong campaign of bombing boats off Latin America’s Caribbean coast and in the eastern Pacific now exceeds 210 after more than 60 strikes. U.S. Southern Command says forces executed a strike on a “low-profile vessel operating along established narcotrafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific.” President Donald Trump has said the U.S. is at war with drug cartels. Critics have questioned the offensive's legality.
