US military says it struck vessel in Caribbean, killing three

The U.S. military announced that three people were killed in ‌a strike on a vessel in the Caribbean Sea, the latest in a series of attacks that Washington ​says target "narco-terrorists,” Reuters reported.

U.S. Southern Command said on ⁠X it "executed a lethal kinetic strike on ​a go-fast vessel operating along established narco-trafficking routes ​in the Caribbean."

It cited "confirmed intelligence" to allege the vessel's active involvement in narco-trafficking, without providing more details.

The U.S. ​military said three people, whom it called "narco-terrorists," ​were killed.

President Donald Trump's administration has said the vessels it has ‌struck ⁠since September 2025 were transporting narcotics.

The U.S. military's strikes on such vessels in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific have killed more than 220 ​people, Reuters reported.

Experts and ​rights advocates, ⁠both in the U.S. and globally, have questioned the legality of the ​strikes.

Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and ​independent U.N. ⁠experts have called the strikes unlawful extrajudicial killings.
