美军周二再次对东太平洋海域一艘疑似运输毒品的船只发动袭击，造成3名男子死亡。
美国南方司令部在社交媒体帖子中表示，其指挥官弗朗西斯·L·多诺万将军下令对一艘船只实施“致命动能打击”，称该船只由“被指定的恐怖组织”操控，“参与了毒品走私行动”，但并未提供相关证据。该司令部还公布了袭击的非保密视频。
此次袭击发生在前一天美军在加勒比海袭击一艘疑似毒船并造成2人死亡的次日。
根据五角大楼的说法，特朗普政府在拉美水域炸毁疑似贩毒船只的行动自9月初以来持续进行，迄今已造成至少190人死亡。
尽管美国与伊朗爆发战争，但近几周这类袭击行动再次升级，这表明该政府打击其所谓西半球“麻醉恐怖主义”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。
此次袭击行动是在美国数十年来最大规模的区域军事部署期间启动的，且早于今年1月抓捕时任委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗的突袭行动数月。马杜罗被带到纽约面临贩毒指控，他已提出无罪抗辩。
在周二的袭击中，美国南方司令部再次表示，其在已知的走私路线上 targeting了疑似毒贩。该司令部在X平台上发布的视频显示，一艘船只在水面航行，随后发生剧烈爆炸，船只陷入火海。
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，并为这些袭击辩护称，这是必要的升级行动，旨在遏制毒品流入美国以及造成美国人死亡的过量吸毒问题。但他的政府几乎没有提供证据支持其击毙“麻醉恐怖分子”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。
3 killed in latest U.S. strike on suspected drug boat in eastern Pacific, Pentagon says

The U.S. military launched another strike Tuesday on a vessel suspected of transporting drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing three men.
In a social media post, U.S. Southern Command said its commander, Gen. Francis L. Donovan, ordered a “lethal kinetic strike” on a boat it alleged was operated by “Designated Terrorist Organizations” and “was engaged in narco-trafficking operations,” but without providing evidence. It also included unclassified video of the strike.
The attack came a day after U.S. forces struck an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean Sea, killing two people.
The Trump administration’s campaign of blowing up alleged drug-trafficking vessels in Latin American waters has persisted since early September and have killed at least 190 people in total, according to the Pentagon.
Despite the Iran war, the strikes have ramped up again in recent weeks, 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.
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 attack Tuesday, U.S. Southern Command once again said it had targeted the alleged drug traffickers along known smuggling routes. It posted a video on X showing a boat cruising along the water before a huge explosion left 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 U.S. 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.
