The US military said on Thursday its strike on a vessel in the Eastern Pacific killed three males, marking the latest such attack that human rights groups call extrajudicial killings and Washington casts as targeting of "narco-terrorists."
Here are some details:
"Three male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No US military forces were harmed," the US Southern Command said late on Thursday.
President Donald Trump's administration has been striking vessels that it accuses of transporting narcotics.
Experts and human rights advocates, both in the US and globally, have questioned the legality of the strikes.
