The U.S. military launched a high-stakes airstrike in the Eastern Pacific targeting a vessel suspected of drug trafficking, part of Operation Southern Spear — a campaign since September that’s reportedly killed over 200 suspects. While officials claim the strikes are necessary to dismantle cartels, critics and lawmakers are sounding alarms over potential extrajudicial killings, lack of congressional approval, and questionable evidence — especially as most fentanyl enters via land routes. Even more controversy erupted after reports of follow-up strikes on surrendering survivors, sparking accusations of war crimes. Lawmakers are demanding unedited footage, while the Pentagon defends actions as necessary to neutralize ongoing threats.
