The U.S. military says it struck a vessel in the eastern Pacific on Saturday, killing three men. U.S. Southern Command claimed the vessel was “engaged in narco-trafficking operations,” providing no evidence. Since September, the Pentagon says it has killed more than 200 people in strikes on boats in the Caribbean and Pacific. The attacks have been widely condemned as unlawful extrajudicial killings.
