US EditionColombia Accuses US of Violating Sovereignty in Strike
Colombia's president condemned US military actions that killed a fisherman amid anti-drug operations, with at least 27 deaths reported and ongoing calls for accountability.
- On Saturday, Colombian President Gustavo Petro accused Washington of violating Colombia's maritime sovereignty shortly after US leader Donald Trump confirmed another strike against narcoterrorists.
- The US campaign has targeted at least six vessels since September, with Donald Trump describing it as an unprecedented effort to choke drug flows from Latin America.
- Fisherman Alejandro Carranza was reportedly killed in a September strike while fishing, and his boat was adrift with its distress signal on, Petro said.
- Colombia said it has repatriated a 34-year-old Colombian in serious condition who will face prosecution, while two surviving suspected traffickers are being returned and Petro's government criticized the US campaign.
- Officials note a lack of transparency as Washington has not revealed the departure point of the alleged `Drug-smuggling submarine` and provided no evidence those killed were traffickers.
