The U.S. military launched a strike on another boat accused of carrying drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean on Tuesday (April 14, 2026), killing four people in the fourth such attack announced in the past few days.
The operation is the latest in a series of strikes on vessels that the Trump administration says were trafficking drugs in Latin American waters, a campaign that began more than seven months ago and continues even as the military has been preoccupied with the Iran war.
