The US military has sparked controversy by announcing the deaths of 11 men in strikes on three alleged drug smuggling boats in the eastern Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea. The strikes, carried out on Monday, local time, have raised concerns among members of the US Congress about the potential for war crimes. The Trump administration has previously justified such operations as necessary to combat drug trafficking, but critics argue that these actions may cross ethical boundaries. The military's lack of evidence for the alleged drug trafficking further fuels the debate. This incident highlights the ongoing tensions and ethical dilemmas surrounding US military interventions in Central and South America, with questions arising about the legality and morality of such operations.
