The Pentagon is reporting two deaths from the latest U.S. strike on a small boat in the eastern Pacific. NPR's Quill Lawrence has details.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced on social media that U.S. forces had targeted what he claimed were drug traffickers in the Eastern Pacific. The administration maintains it is at war with drug cartels, and that makes it legal for the U.S. military... to kill alleged traffickers even if they're unarmed and not threatening U.S. forces.

This latest is at least the 16th in the Pacific and the Caribbean, where a growing U.S. fleet is gathering off the coast of Venezuela.
