U.S Military strike destroyed suspected drug boat in Pacific
A U.S military strike destroyed a boat suspected of drug trafficking in the eastern Pacific Ocean on February 6, 2026, killing two people.
Military officials said intelligence showed the boat was traveling along a known drug-smuggling route. A short video released by the command showed the boat moving across the water before an explosion set it on fire.
The operation took place under the leadership of the new Southern commander. Officials described the strike as part of ongoing efforts to stop illegal narcotics shipments in the region.
Some legal experts questioned whether the strike was lawful. They argued that targeting villains who do not pose an immediate threat could violate international law.
