YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The U.S. military has carried out two new strikes on alleged drug boats in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing six people. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth posted video of the strikes, saying the boats were carrying narcotics and traveling along a known narco-trafficking route.

This brings the total number of known attacks to 19 since September. At least 75 people have been killed. The Trump administration has provided little evidence to back up its claims about the boats, and some lawmakers have pushed for more information on who is being targeted and why.
