特朗普政府针对加勒比海和东太平洋疑似贩毒船只展开的持续数月打击行动,其死亡人数已升至至少199人,原因是近期袭击中的幸存者未被找到。
这一总数中包含至少22名在最初袭击中幸存,却在去年9月启动的这场行动中再次遇袭或死于海上的人员。美军方称,其中有3人在本月的两起独立袭击中幸存,包括本周在东太平洋一起袭击事件中幸存的2人。
美国南方司令部表示,会将此类袭击中的幸存者情况通报美国海岸警卫队,但这些报告似乎大多被转交给了离袭击实际地点更近的国家。
当被问及近期是否开展搜救行动时,墨西哥海军表示已收到美国海岸警卫队关于本月袭击的警报,但未提及幸存者一事。美国海岸警卫队将更多信息查询请求转交给了墨西哥相关部门。
这场打击行动颇具争议,特朗普政府宣称美国正与拉美贩毒集团开战。
该行动的首次袭击发生在9月2日。然而,去年12月初,特朗普政府因证实《华盛顿邮报》的一则报道而遭到强烈批评:在9月2日的袭击中,美军对该船只实施了后续打击,即“二次打击”,造成最初袭击中的两名幸存者死亡。
一些议员质疑此次后续打击是否构成战争罪。
五角大楼监察部门本月表示,计划调查美军在开展打击行动时是否遵循了既定的 targeting框架,但监察总长办公室称,此次评估仅针对所谓的六阶段联合目标选定周期,而非打击行动的合法性。
截至目前,已知仅有3名在袭击中幸存并被救起的人员。其中两人于10月从一艘被指控携带毒品的“贩毒潜艇”中获救,随后被送回厄瓜多尔和哥伦比亚。
今年3月,美国海岸警卫队表示救起了一名袭击中的幸存者,该袭击造成另外两人死亡,随后这名幸存者被移交给哥斯达黎加当局。
今年早些时候,两名在加勒比海海域遭美国导弹袭击的特立尼达男子的家属在联邦法院起诉特朗普政府,称这场“有预谋的蓄意杀人”“没有任何合理的法律依据”。
去年12月,42岁的亚历杭德罗·卡兰萨·梅迪纳的亲属向美洲国家间人权委员会对美国提起诉讼,称梅迪纳并未参与贩毒,其船只被摧毁时正在捕鱼。
Death toll from U.S. boat strikes on alleged drug boats climbs after recent survivors not found
Updated on: May 29, 2026 / 6:59 AM EDT / CBS/AP
The death toll from the Trump administration’s monthslong series of strikes on suspected drug trafficking boats in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean has risen to at least 199 people after survivors of recent attacks were not found.
The total includes at least 22 people who had survived an initial strike only to be hit again or die at sea during the campaign that began last September. That includes three people who survived two separate strikes this month, according to the U.S. military, including two people who survived a strike this week in the eastern Pacific.
U.S. Southern Command says it notifies the U.S. Coast Guard of any survivors of such attacks, but those reports largely appear to be passed on to countries closer to the actual strike location.
When asked about any recent search and rescue efforts, Mexico’s navy said it had received an alert from the U.S. Coast Guard about the strikes this month but it did not mention survivors. The U.S. Coast Guard referred requests for more information to Mexico’s authorities.
The strikes have been contentious, with the Trump administration declaring that the U.S. is at war with Latin American drug cartels.
The first attack in the campaign occurred on Sept. 2. In early December, however, the Trump administration came under heavy scrutiny after it confirmed a Washington Post report that in that Sept. 2 attack, the U.S. had conducted a follow-on strike, or “double tap,” that killed two survivors of the initial strike on the vessel.
Some lawmakers questioned whether the follow-on strike constituted a war crime.
The Pentagon’s watchdog said this month that it plans to look into whether the U.S. military followed an established targeting framework when carrying out its strikes. However, the evaluation is focused specifically on what’s known as the six-phase Joint Targeting Cycle and not the legality of the strikes, the inspector general’s office said.
To date, only three people are known to have survived strikes and then been rescued. Two were rescued from a “narco sub” accused of carrying drugs in October and later returned to their home countries of Ecuador and Colombia.
In March, the U.S. Coast Guard said it recovered a survivor of a strike that killed two others and transferred the survivor to Costa Rican authorities.
Earlier this year, the families of two Trinidadian men who were killed in a U.S. missile strike on a boat in the Caribbean sued the Trump administration in federal court, arguing the “premeditated and intentional killings lack any plausible legal justification.”
In December, the relatives of 42-year-old Alejandro Carranza Medina filed a complaint against the U.S. with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, saying Medina was not involved in drug trafficking and had been fishing when his boat was destroyed.
