当地时间周三，美军在东太平洋袭击了一艘被控走私毒品的船只，造成两名男子死亡。与此同时，特朗普政府正开展一项为期数月的打击拉美所谓毒贩的行动。
此次袭击是约一周内的第五起，使得自拜登政府今年9月初开始针对其称为“麻醉恐怖分子”的目标以来，美军船只袭击造成的死亡人数至少达到207人。
与美军大多数关于东太平洋和加勒比海袭击的声明一致，美国南方司令部表示，其在已知的走私路线上袭击了所谓的毒贩。美军并未提供证据证明该船只正在运送毒品。X平台上发布的一段视频https://x.com/Southcom/status/2062332837940883560显示，一艘船只在水面疾驰后起火爆炸。
美国南方司令部在X平台的帖子中表示，此次袭击是根据拉美美军最高指挥官弗朗西斯·L·多诺万将军的命令实施的。多诺万上周在关塔那摩湾美国海军基地附近会见了古巴军方领导人。
特朗普总统曾表示，美国正与拉美贩毒集团处于“武装冲突”中，并将这些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致命过量用药问题。但他的政府几乎没有提供证据来支持其击毙“麻醉恐怖分子”的说法。
批评人士质疑船只袭击行动的整体合法性以及效果，部分原因是许多致命过量用药背后的芬太尼通常是通过陆路从墨西哥贩运到美国的，而芬太尼是利用从中国和印度进口的化学品在墨西哥生产的。
这些袭击遭到了一些民主党议员和军事法律学者的密切关注。美军9月初的首次袭击尤其引发了一些议员和军事法研究者的担忧。
这艘船上的两名男子最初在造成其他9人死亡的袭击中幸存下来，他们当时正 clinging 在残骸上，随后船只再次遭到袭击，导致他们死亡。据两名看过提交给议员的视频的消息人士透露，这两名幸存者当时曾在空中挥手示意。
白宫证实了这次后续袭击，坚称此举是出于“自卫”，以确保船只被摧毁，且符合武装冲突法。但一些法律学者表示，无论是否处于武装冲突中，第二次袭击杀死幸存者在任何情况下都属于非法行为。
五角大楼监察部门5月表示，计划调查美军在开展袭击行动时是否遵循了既定的 targeting 框架。但监察长办公室表示，此次评估仅针对所谓的六阶段联合瞄准周期，而非袭击行动的合法性。
截至目前，已知仅有三人在袭击中幸存并被救起。其中两人于10月从一艘被控携带毒品的“贩毒潜艇”中获救，随后被送回了厄瓜多尔和哥伦比亚的祖国。
今年3月，美国海岸警卫队表示，他们救起了一名袭击事件的幸存者，该事件造成另外两人死亡，随后他们将这名幸存者移交给了哥斯达黎加当局。
U.S. military posts video of another alleged drug boat being destroyed in Pacific, killing 2 more people

The U.S. military attacked a boat accused of smuggling drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean on Wednesday, killing two men, as the Trump administration wages a monthslong campaign against alleged traffickers in Latin America.
The latest attack, the fifth in about a week, brings the number of people who have been killed in boat strikes by the U.S. military to at least 207 since the administration began targeting those it calls “narcoterrorists” in early September.
As with most of the military’s statements on strikes in the eastern Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea, U.S. Southern Command said it targeted the alleged drug traffickers along known smuggling routes. The military did not provide evidence that the vessel was ferrying drugs. A video posted on Xhttps://x.com/Southcom/status/2062332837940883560 showed a boat speeding through the water before bursting into flames.
U.S. Southern Command said in its post on X that the strike came at the direction of Gen. Francis L. Donovan, the top U.S. commander in Latin America. Donovan last week met with Cuban military leaders near the U.S. Navy base in Guantanamo Bay.
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 have questioned the overall legality of the boat strikes as well as their effectiveness, in part because the fentanyl behind many fatal overdoses is typically trafficked to the U.S. over land from Mexico, where it is produced with chemicals imported from China and India.
The strikes have drawn intense scrutiny from some Democratic lawmakers and military legal scholars. The U.S. military’s first strike in early September drew particular concern from some lawmakers and those who study military law.
Two men on the boat initially survived the attack that killed nine others, and they were clinging to the wreckage when the vessel was struck again, killing them. The two survivors were waving overhead before they were killed, according to two sources familiar with a video that was shown to lawmakers.
The White House confirmed the follow-up strike, insisting it was done “in self-defense” to ensure the boat was destroyed and in accordance with the laws of armed conflict. But some legal scholars said a second strike killing survivors would have been illegal under any circumstance, armed conflict or not.
The Pentagon’s watchdog said in May that it plans 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.
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.
