US EditionUS military says two men killed in strike on suspected drug vessel in Pacific
The U.S. military's 30th strike in a months-long campaign killed two men on a vessel accused of drug trafficking, with 107 deaths reported since September, officials said.
- On December 29, 2025, the U.S. military launched another strike in the eastern Pacific that killed two people, U.S. Southern Command said.
- The operation follows a campaign that began on Sept. 2, which the administration cites as justification for continued boat strikes targeting vessels on narco‑trafficking routes, the military said.
- Social‑media footage shows the boat shown in footage moving before two explosions; the United States has hit at least 30 alleged drug vessels, killing 107 people since early September.
- Congressional Democrats and some Republicans have pushed back, arguing the operations lack congressional authorization and sufficient evidence, while Colombia and Venezuela criticized the strikes and President Nicolás Maduro denied allegations.
- Administration escalation includes seizing sanctioned oil tankers and a blockade affecting Venezuela's oil sector, codified in the National Security Strategy as the 'Trump Corollary', with President Donald Trump framing it as an 'armed conflict' with cartels, raising the prospect of land strikes.
