AI Summary
On January 23, 2026, the US military, under President Trump's administration, conducted a lethal boat strike in the Eastern Pacific, killing two people. This marks the first such attack in 2026 and brings the total death toll from US boat strikes in the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific to 125 since September 2, when Trump's campaign began. US Southern Command stated the vessel was engaged in narco-trafficking and operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. One survivor is yet to be recovered, and the US Coast Guard has been notified. These actions, along with the recent military operation in Venezuela, have drawn criticism from world leaders and human rights advocates, who are raising concerns about extrajudicial killings and the treatment of survivors.
