US military attacks suspected drug ships in the Eastern Pacific

The US military killed five suspected drug smugglers in attacks on two ships in the eastern Pacific, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Wednesday, expanding the Trump administration’s use of the military in its anti-narcotics campaign. On Wednesday afternoon, Hegseth said the military attacked a ship in the eastern Pacific on Tuesday, killing two men. It was the first known U.S. military operation in the Pacific since President Donald Trump launched a new offensive against drug trafficking. Andrew Hilliar, international affairs editor at France24, shares his insights.
