华盛顿（美联社）——美军周三在东太平洋击中一艘船只，造成三名男子死亡，五角大楼称这些人当时正在走私毒品。美国南方司令部在社交媒体发帖称，美方人员无一受伤。
随着特朗普政府继续在国际水域采取激进的反卡特尔行动，近日已宣布了多起此类袭击。自去年9月初行动开始以来，已有至少178人在袭击中丧生，而在数月后的今年1月，美军突袭逮捕了时任委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗。
南方司令部将周三的袭击描述为对一艘“由指定恐怖组织运营的船只”实施的“致命动能打击”。通报称，该船当时正沿着东太平洋“已知的毒品走私航线”航行。该公告未提及该组织的名称或被击杀的三名男子的身份，也未提供更精确的地理位置，更未提供这些男子与毒品走私有关联的证据。
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. military forces struck a vessel Wednesday in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing three men the Pentagon says were trafficking drugs. No U.S. personnel were harmed, the U.S. Southern Command said in a social media post.Several such strikes have been announced in recent days as the Trump administration continues its aggressive anti-cartel actions in international waters. At least 178 people have been killed in the strikes since the effort began in early September, months before the U.S. raid in January that captured then-Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. The Southern Command described the attack Wednesday as a “lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization.” It said the vessel was transiting along “known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific.The announcement did not name the organization or the three men killed in the strike or offer a more precise location. Nor did it provide evidence of the men’s ties to drug trafficking.
