US military kills three in another strike in eastern Pacific that rights groups label as ‘extrajudicial killings’

Without offering details or evidence, US Southern Command described the people killed as ‘narco-terrorists’

The US military said on Tuesday it struck a vessel in the eastern Pacific, killing three people, in the latest such attack that rights groups label as “extrajudicial killings” and Washington describes as targeting “narco-terrorists”.

US Southern Command posted about the strike on social media Tuesday evening, alleging that the vessel struck on Tuesday was operated by “Designated Terrorist Organizations” that it did not identify.
