美军称其周日在加勒比海对一艘其指控为运输毒品的船只发动袭击,造成3人死亡。
特朗普政府在拉美水域炸毁疑似运毒船只的行动自9月初以来持续进行,迄今已造成至少181人死亡。其他袭击行动还发生在东太平洋海域,该行动迄今已针对至少54艘船只发动打击。
尽管美国与伊朗处于战争状态,但这类袭击在过去一周左右再次升级,表明政府阻止其所谓西半球“毒品恐怖主义”的强硬措施并未松懈。美军尚未提供任何证据证明这些船只搭载了毒品。
美国南方司令部的一名发言人此前告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻:“出于行动安全考虑,我们无法讨论具体的情报来源或行动方法。”
这类袭击始于美国数十年来在该地区部署最大规模军事力量之际,比今年1月抓捕时任委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗的突袭行动早数月。马杜罗被带到美国纽约面临贩毒指控,目前已拒不认罪。
在周日的最新袭击中,美国南方司令部重申了此前的声明,称其在已知的走私路线上针对疑似毒贩发动了打击。该司令部在X平台上发布了一段视频,显示一艘船只在水面航行,随后发生剧烈爆炸,将船只吞没在火焰中。
特朗普总统曾表示,美国与拉美贩毒集团处于“武装冲突”状态,并将这类袭击辩解为必要的升级行动,以遏制毒品流入美国以及造成美国人死亡的过量吸毒致死事件。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。
与此同时,批评人士对这类船只袭击行动的整体合法性提出了质疑。
Strike on alleged drug boat kills 3 in Caribbean Sea, U.S. military says

The U.S. military said it launched another strike on a boat it accused of ferrying drugs in the Caribbean Sea, killing three people Sunday.
The Trump administration’s campaign of blowing up alleged drug-trafficking vessels in Latin American waters has persisted since early September and killed at least 181 people in total. Other strikes have taken place in the eastern Pacific Ocean. At least 54 vessels have been targeted in the campaign.
Despite the Iran war, the series of strikes has ramped up again in the past week or so, showing that the administration’s aggressive measures to stop what it calls “narcoterrorism” in the Western Hemisphere are not letting up. The military has not provided evidence that any of the vessels were carrying drugs.
A spokesperson for U.S. Southern Command has previously told CBS News: “For operational security reasons, we cannot discuss specific sources or methods.”
The attacks began as the U.S. built up its largest military presence in the region in generations and came months ahead of the raid in January that captured then-Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. He was brought to New York to face drug trafficking charges and has pleaded not guilty.
In the latest attack Sunday, U.S. Southern Command repeated previous statements by saying it had targeted the alleged drug traffickers along known smuggling routes. It posted a video on X showing a boat moving along the water before a massive explosion engulfed the vessel in 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, meanwhile, have questioned the overall legality of the boat strikes.
