About

The Eastern Pacific Ocean is experiencing heightened attention due to recent US military activities. The FAA has issued warnings to US airlines and pilots, advising caution when flying over the Eastern Pacific near Mexico, Central America, and parts of South America, citing potential "military activities" and satellite navigation interference. These warnings have been in effect for 60 days. Separately, a US boat strike in international waters in the Eastern Pacific resulted in two fatalities, bringing the reported death toll from such incidents to 125 since September. This has raised human rights concerns. Additionally, a video shown to senators revealed details of a US airstrike on a suspected drug smuggling boat in the Caribbean, where survivors were killed in a second attack after clinging to wreckage. These events highlight increased military presence and potential risks in the Eastern Pacific region.
