Two killed in US strike on another alleged drug boat in Pacific as campaign’s death toll nears 200

Military claims boat targeted in second deadly attack this week was travelling along a known smuggling route

The US military attacked what it called a drug trafficking boat on Wednesday in the eastern Pacific, killing two men, officials said.

It was the second deadly attack in as many days in the Trump administration offensive that began last September and has now left almost 200 people dead. Rights groups say the attacks could amount to extrajudicial killings.
