WorldU.S. strikes on alleged drug boats have killed 235 people since 2025

A U.S. military strike killed four people aboard a boat suspected of drug smuggling in the Caribbean Sea on Oct. 4, military officials said. U.S. Southern Command says 70 strikes against alleged “narcoterrorists” in the Caribbean and Pacific have killed 235 people since the Trump administration launched the operation in September 2025. The campaign remains controversial because the administration has offered little evidence that those targeted were drug smugglers.
