Four killed in latest US boat strike in the Pacific British Broadcasting Corporation

The US military, under President Trump's direction, has conducted more strikes on boats in the Pacific Ocean suspected of transporting illegal drugs, killing four more people, according to Pete Hegseth. This follows previous strikes that killed 14. These actions are an escalation of the US campaign to stop seaborne narcotics, but have drawn condemnation from Colombia and Venezuela, raised legal concerns, and prompted questions from US Congress members. The US has been building up its military presence in the Caribbean, leading to fears in Venezuela that the US aims to overthrow President Maduro, who the US accuses of being a drug trafficker.
