美国国防部表示，美军周日在东太平洋再次打击一艘被控走私毒品的船只，当场造成2人死亡、6人幸存。目前美国正对拉丁美洲的疑似毒贩开展持续打击行动。
此次袭击是美军针对船只发起的第60余次此类行动，自特朗普政府于9月初开始打击其所谓的“毒品恐怖分子”以来，美军海上船只袭击已造成超过210人死亡。
目前尚不清楚此次袭击的幸存者，或是6月16日那次造成2名幸存者的袭击中的幸存者是否已获救。不过美国南方司令部表示，两次袭击事件发生后都已通知美国海岸警卫队。五角大楼未立即回应有关此次袭击的置评请求。
与美军大多数关于东太平洋和加勒比海袭击的声明一致，南方司令部称美军在已知的走私航线附近瞄准了疑似毒贩。军方未提供证据证明该船只当时正在运送毒品。
一段发布在X平台的黑白视频显示，一艘船只在水面疾驰，随后被一枚清晰可见的弹药击中并起火。
特朗普总统曾表示，美国正与拉丁美洲的贩毒集团处于“武装冲突”中，并将此类袭击辩护为必要的升级行动，以遏制毒品流入美国以及因吸毒过量致死的情况。但他的政府几乎未提供证据支持其“击毙毒品恐怖分子”的说法。
袭击的批评者质疑此类行动的整体合法性以及实际效果。其中一项争议点是，造成美国境内大量 overdose 死亡的芬太尼通常经陆地从墨西哥走私入境，而芬太尼的生产原料来自中国和印度。
此前，美国议员曾要求五角大楼公布首次袭击的“未剪辑视频”。此前有报道称，美军在首次袭击后对幸存者实施了后续打击。
部分议员质疑此次后续打击是否构成战争罪。美国国防部和多名国会共和党议员坚称，幸存者当时仍在参与战斗，因此有理由实施后续打击。
五角大楼监察部门5月表示，计划调查美军在开展此类袭击时是否遵循了既定的目标选定框架。但监察总长办公室表示，此次评估仅聚焦于所谓的六阶段联合目标选定流程，而非袭击行动的合法性。

U.S. strike on alleged drug boat kills 2, leaves 6 survivors, in the eastern Pacific

The U.S. military has conducted another strike against a boat accused of smuggling drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean on Sunday, immediately killing two people and leaving six survivors, the Defense Department said, amid an ongoing campaign against alleged traffickers in Latin America.
The latest attack — which now number more than 60 — brings the number of people who have been killed in boat strikes by the U.S. military to more than 210 people since the Trump administration began targeting those it calls “narcoterrorists” in early September.
It is unclear if the survivors of this strike, or the one conducted on June 16 that left two survivors, were rescued. However, in both cases, U.S. Southern Command said that it notified the U.S. Coast Guard. The Pentagon did not immediately answer questions about the strike.
As with most of the military’s statements on strikes in the eastern Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea, SOUTHCOM said it targeted the alleged drug traffickers along known smuggling routes. The military did not provide evidence that the vessel was ferrying drugs.
A black and white video posted on X showed a boat speeding through the water before being struck by a visible projectile and then bursting into flames.
President Trump has said the U.S. is in “armed conflict” with cartels in Latin America and has justified the attacks as a necessary escalation to stem the flow of drugs into the United States and fatal overdoses claiming American lives. But his administration has offered little evidence to support its claims of killing “narcoterrorists.”
Critics of the strikes have questioned the overall legality as well as their effectiveness. Part of the argument has been that the fentanyl behind many fatal U.S. drug overdoses is typically trafficked over land from Mexico, where it is produced with chemicals imported from China and India.
U.S. lawmakers have previously demanded that the Pentagon release “unedited video” of the very first strike that the military conducted after reports emerged that the U.S. chose to conduct a follow-on strike on survivors of its initial attack.
Some lawmakers have questioned whether that follow-on strike constituted a war crime. The Defense Department and several congressional Republicans have insisted the survivors may have still been in the fight, warranting the follow-on strike.
The Pentagon’s watchdog said in May that it planned to look into whether the U.S. military followed an established targeting framework when carrying out the strikes. However, the evaluation is focused specifically on what’s known as the six-phase Joint Targeting Cycle and not on the legality of the strikes, the inspector general’s office said.
