U.S. Strike on Alleged Drug Boat Draws Pushback

Read, Watch or Listen

The U.S. military struck another alleged drug-carrying boat Friday, killing three people, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Sunday. He said the vessel was linked to Colombia’s ELN and traveling a known narco-trafficking route in international waters under U.S. Southern Command. It was the seventh known attack since last month; at least 32 people have been killed in such strikes. The Trump administration describes the campaign as a “non-international armed conflict” with drug cartels, while lawmakers, including Sen. Mark Kelly, questioned the legal basis and evidence.
