One person was killed when another vehicle suspected of carrying medication was attacked by the US government in the Eastern Pacific as part of a month-long campaign of attacks on ships close to Latin America.

105 people have died as a result of the military's initial raids on at least 29 suspected drug trafficking vessels, according to CBS News. Although President Trump has argued that the vessel attacks have been successful in preventing drug trafficking in the Eastern Pacific and the Caribbean Sea, his detractors have questioned their constitutional authority to carry out them.

According to a statement from US Southern Command on X, the attack on Monday targeted a vessel in international waters that was" traveling known drug trafficking roads. "

The military claimed that the ship was run by a criminal organization, but the Trump administration has since labeled some Latin American drug cartels as criminal organizations. Joint Task Force Southern Spear launched a devastating dynamic strike on a low-profile vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations on December 22 under the direction of @SecWar Pete Hegseth in international waters, SOUTHCOM reported on X. The goal of the operation was described by the military as a "low-profile vessel. " Drug trafficking organizations have long been accused of using obscure submersibles and semi-submersibles to carry medication in some cases. Trump made the announcement in October that two people had been killed and two had been repatriated to their countries of origin as a result of an assault on a alleged drug-trafficking underwater in the Caribbean. In a wider defense and anti-narcotics battle near Latin America, the military started conducting boat attacks on September 2. The management has argued that the United States is engaged in a "non-international military issue" with the cartels, which is how the management justified the assaults. Democrats in Congress and some Republicans have criticized the problems, who contend that the government hasn't provided enough proof that the vessels were carrying medications and that the procedures were not authorized by Congress. Colombia and Venezuelan administrations have also criticized the problems. The Trump administration has also put more pressure on Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro's authorities, accusing it of working with drug cartel.
