The US Southern Command announced that it conducted another strike against a small boat in the eastern Pacific Ocean. This was the 22nd strike the US military carried out against boats in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean that the Trump administration claimed were trafficking drugs.

There were four casualties in the strike, bringing the death toll of the campaign to at least 87 people. The strike was conducted the same day Admiral Frank Bradley appeared for a series of closed-door classified briefings at the US Capitol as lawmakers began an investigation into the very first strike carried out by the military on September 2. The sessions came after a report that Bradley ordered a follow-on attack that killed the survivors to comply with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s demands.
