这段从视频中截取的屏幕截图显示,在2026年1月23日星期五遭到撞击前,一艘涉嫌贩毒的船只在东太平洋海域航行。美国南方司令部表示,此次撞击造成两人死亡,一人幸存。

据美国南方司令部称,周五美军在东太平洋对另一艘涉嫌贩毒的船只发动了袭击,造成两人死亡,一人幸存。

南方司令部在社交平台X上写道:“1月23日,应@国防部长彼得·赫格塞斯的指示,联合特遣部队‘南方之矛’对一艘由指定恐怖组织运营的船只实施了致命动能打击。”

海岸警卫队在一份声明中告诉CNN,他们已收到南方司令部的通知,并正在协调对幸存者的搜救行动。

作为一项被称为“南方之矛”行动的一部分,针对涉嫌贩毒船只的袭击已造成至少117人死亡。特朗普政府称该行动旨在遏制毒品走私。

今年到目前为止,美军的袭击节奏有所放缓。军方最近一次袭击是在12月31日,当时击中了两艘船只,造成5人死亡。

周五的袭击是在美军从加拉加斯抓获委内瑞拉领导人尼古拉斯·马杜罗并将其带到纽约面临刑事指控之后,首次有记录的针对涉嫌贩毒船只的袭击。马杜罗本月早些时候对这些指控不认罪。

美国官员公开表示,袭击船只和在加勒比地区进行军事集结的目标是阻止毒品流入美国,但特朗普政府官员此前私下承认,美国的施压行动旨在推翻马杜罗。

此前袭击曾有幸存者

美军对涉嫌贩毒船只的袭击此前曾有幸存者,包括12月30日的一次袭击,当时有不明数量的人弃船而逃。

海岸警卫队在三天后暂停了对这些人的搜救。

去年10月,美国从加勒比海一艘潜艇的袭击中救出了两名幸存者,并很快将他们释放回厄瓜多尔和哥伦比亚。那次袭击中另有两名船员死亡。

美军在9月2日行动中的首次有争议的袭击也造成了幸存者。当时对涉嫌贩毒船只的首次打击未能将其击沉,军方随后又发动了第二次打击,造成两名抓住倾覆船只的幸存者死亡。

民主党议员就此次“双重打击”要求特朗普政府作出解释,包括呼吁向公众公布视频,一些人暗示美军可能因杀害幸存者而犯下战争罪。

This screengrab taken from a video shows an alleged drug-trafficking boat in the eastern Pacific Ocean, before it was struck on Friday, January 23, 2026. US Southern Command said that the strike killed two people and left one survivor.

The US military conducted a strike against another alleged drug-trafficking boat in the eastern Pacific Ocean on Friday, killing two people with one survivor, according to US Southern Command.

“On Jan. 23, at the direction of @SecWar Pete Hegseth, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations,” SOUTHCOM wrote on X.

The Coast Guard told CNN in a statement it was notified by SOUTHCOM and is coordinating search and rescue operations for the survivor.

At least 117 people have now been killed in strikes on suspected drug boats as part of a campaign, dubbed Operation Southern Spear, that the Trump administration has said is aimed at curtailing narcotics trafficking.

The pace of US strikes has slowed so far this year. The military most recently struck two boats on December 31, killing 5.

Friday’s attack marks the first known strike against alleged drug-trafficking boats since the US military operation that captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro from Caracas and brought him to New York to face criminal charges. Maduro pleaded not guilty to the charges earlier this month.

Publicly, US officials have said the goal of the boat strikes and a military buildup in the Caribbean is to stop the flow of drugs into the US, but Trump administration officials previously acknowledged in private that the US pressure campaign had been aimed at ousting Maduro.

Previous strikes left survivors

US military strikes on alleged drug-trafficking boats have previously left survivors, including a strike on December 30 in which an unspecified number of people abandoned their vessel.

The Coast Guard suspended its search for those people three days later.

Last October, the US picked up two survivors from an attack on a submarine in the Caribbean and soon after released them to their home countries of Ecuador and Colombia. Two other crew members were killed in that strike.

The US military’s controversial first strike in the operation on September 2 also left survivors. When an initial hit on the alleged drug-trafficking boat did not sink it, the military then carried out a second strike that killed two survivors who were holding onto the capsized vessel.

Democratic lawmakers have pressured the Trump administration for answers about the “double-tap” strike, including calling for the video to be released to the public, with some suggesting the US military may have committed a war crime by killing the survivors.
