US Military Strikes in Pacific: 95 Dead, Lawmakers Question Campaign
Update: 2025-12-16
Description
The US military has carried out a series of strikes in the eastern Pacific, targeting boats allegedly involved in drug smuggling. These actions, defended by President Trump as necessary to combat drug cartels, have resulted in numerous deaths and raised concerns among lawmakers. The Trump administration is now facing questions about this campaign, which has seen at least twenty-five strikes since early September, leading to at least ninety-five fatalities. The latest strikes occurred just before scheduled briefings on Capitol Hill, and top national security officials are set to provide closed-door briefings to lawmakers. The campaign has also increased pressure on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who faces narcoterrorism charges in the US.
