US military kills four men in strike on suspected drug-smuggling boat

Washington DC [US], April 16: The US military killed four men in a strike on a suspected drug-smuggling vessel in the eastern Pacific, the US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) said on Tuesday.
The boat was operating along a known drug-trafficking route and was believed to be involved in narcotics smuggling, SOUTHCOM said in a post on X. Under orders from President Donald Trump, the US military has carried out lethal strikes since September 2025 against vessels in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific suspected of transporting drugs to the United States.
