The U.S. military said it launched another strike on a boat accused of ferrying drugs in the Caribbean Sea, killing three people on Sunday (April 19, 2026).

The Trump administration’s campaign of blowing up alleged drug-trafficking vessels in Latin American waters has persisted since early September and killed at least 181 people in total. Other strikes have taken place in the eastern Pacific Ocean.

Paris:

A massive shootout linked to drug trafficking has left a teenager and four others seriously wounded in western France, Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau said Friday, in the latest such gunfight to injure children.

The shootout erupted in front of a restaurant overnight in the western city of Poitiers, Retailleau told BFMTV/RMC radio. 

“What started as a shooting at a restaurant ended up in a fight between rival gangs that involved several hundred people”, Retailleau said.

The 15-year-old boy wounded was between life and death, he said.

The minister warned that the country was at a “tipping point” when it came to drug trafficking violence, saying that he was planning to travel later in the day to the northwestern city of Rennes, where a five-year-old child was also between life and death after being shot on Saturday in another fire exchange related to drug trafficking.
