周四，美军在东太平洋打击了一艘涉嫌携带毒品的船只，这是过去五个月在拉丁美洲水域被打击的第38艘船只，也是今年的第二起此类行动。
美国南方司令部在X平台的帖子中表示，此次行动造成两人死亡。军方声称这艘船由一个被指定的恐怖组织运营，并在”已知的贩毒路线”上航行。该船的运营商未被点名，但特朗普政府已将多个拉丁美洲贩毒集团列为恐怖组织。
南方司令部分享了一段简短的未分类视频，显示一艘船爆炸并燃起大火。
自9月初以来，军方已通过36次空袭打击了至少38艘船只，在加勒比海和东太平洋造成至少128人死亡。
自1月3日美军抓获委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗（特朗普政府指控其与贩毒集团勾结）以来，船只打击行动的频率显著放缓。此后仅打击了两艘船，包括1月23日在太平洋被击中的一艘船，以及本周四被击中的这艘船。
特朗普总统辩称，打击运毒船只对于遏制毒品走私是必要的。他的政府告诉国会，美国正与贩毒集团处于”非国际性武装冲突”状态，而船上的涉嫌走私者是”非法战斗人员”。
包括民主党议员在内的批评者认为，这些打击行动在法律上缺乏正当性，并指责政府未能提供足够证据证明这些船只正将毒品运往美国。去年9月2日首次打击行动中的两名幸存者在后续袭击中丧生的揭露也引发了强烈批评。
国会民主党人还广泛批评特朗普政府在中美洲和南美洲附近的军事集结，包括船只打击行动和马杜罗的被捕，指出国会尚未授权在该地区使用军事力量。政府则坚称这些行动是合法的，不需要立法者批准。民主党人提出了旨在限制该地区军事行动的决议，但均未通过。
U.S. forces strike alleged drug boat in Pacific, second since Maduro’s capture
February 5, 2026 / 10:12 PM EST / CBS News
The U.S. military struck an alleged drug-carrying boat in the eastern Pacific on Thursday, marking the 38th vessel to be struck over the last five months in Latin American waters, and the second this year.
Two people were killed in Thursday’s operation, U.S. Southern Command said in a post on X. The military alleged the boat was operated by a designated terrorist organization and was traveling on “known narco-trafficking routes.” It didn’t name the boat’s operator, but the Trump administration has listed several Latin American drug cartels as terrorist groups.
Southern Command shared a brief unclassified video of a boat exploding and bursting into flames.
The military has now struck at least 38 vessels across 36 airstrikes since early September, killing at least 128 people in the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific.
The pace of the boat strikes has slowed significantly since Jan. 3, when U.S. forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, whom the Trump administration accuses of working with drug trafficking groups. Just two vessels have been struck since then, including a boat that was hit in the Pacific on Jan. 23, and the one that was struck on Thursday.
President Trump has argued the boat strikes are necessary to quell narcotics trafficking. His administration has told Congress the U.S. is in a “non-international armed conflict” with drug cartels, and the alleged smugglers who crew the boats are “unlawful combatants.”
Critics, including Democratic lawmakers, argue the strikes are legally unjustified and accuse the administration of failing to produce enough evidence that the boats were carrying drugs toward the U.S. Revelations last year that two survivors of the campaign’s first strike on Sept. 2 were killed by a follow-on attack also drew steep criticism.
Congressional Democrats have also broadly criticized the Trump administration’s military buildup near Central and South America, including the boat strikes and Maduro’s capture, noting that Congress hasn’t authorized the use of military force. The administration has asserted that the operations are legal and don’t require approval from lawmakers. Democrats have introduced resolutions that aim to limit military operations in the region, but they have failed to pass.
