US EditionUS military strikes another alleged drug boat in the Eastern Pacific, killing 6: SOUTHCOM
The strike was part of over 40 U.S. military attacks targeting alleged drug traffickers, killing at least 157 since September, amid legal and effectiveness concerns.
- On Sunday, the U.S. military said it killed six men in a strike on an alleged drug-smuggling vessel in the eastern Pacific Ocean and posted a video showing the boat exploding.

- Critics noted the strikes' questionable legality and limited effectiveness, while Ecuador and the United States conducted operations this past week against organized crime groups.
- With Saturday's gathering, Trump aimed to demonstrate that he remains committed to focusing U.S. foreign policy on the Western Hemisphere, even while waging a war on Iran, and encouraged Latin American leaders to join U.S. military action, citing cooperation with Ecuador this past week.
