华盛顿讯——当地时间周二，美军在加勒比海袭击了一艘疑似用于走私毒品的船只，造成4人死亡。这起事件正值特朗普政府持续数月的拉美疑似毒贩打击行动进行之际。
此次袭击是特朗普政府近一年前开始打击其所谓的“麻醉恐怖分子”以来，美军在68次船只袭击行动中造成的死亡人数升至至少227人。与美军大多数关于东太平洋和加勒比海袭击的声明一致，美国南方司令部表示，他们在已知的走私路线上瞄准了疑似毒贩。
美军并未提供证据证明该船只正在运送毒品，但在X平台上表示，“经确认的情报显示，该船只积极参与了毒品走私”。该X平台帖子附带的视频显示了一艘看似正在移动的船只，随后出现闪光。
周二的袭击发生在美军两天前在东太平洋袭击一艘船只仅两天后，那次袭击造成两名被控贩毒者死亡。此次行动是美军针对疑似走私者的行动暂停两个多月后重启的。
特朗普政府正与盟国达成协议，将其打击行动扩展到多个拉美国家的陆地。本月访问巴拿马期间，美国国防部长皮特·赫格斯表示，哥伦比亚、危地马拉和洪都拉斯已同意让美军在其领土上开展打击犯罪团伙的联合军事行动。危地马拉否认达成了此类协议。厄瓜多尔于3月与美国启动了类似的行动。
特朗普总统曾表示，美国与拉美贩毒集团处于“武装冲突”中，并将这些袭击辩解为必要的升级行动，以遏制毒品流入美国和造成美国人死亡的过量吸食毒品事件。但他的政府几乎没有提供证据支持其击毙走私者的说法。
U.S. military attacks alleged drug-smuggling boat in Caribbean, killing 4 people

Washington — The U.S. military attacked a boat suspected of being used to smuggle drugs in the Caribbean Sea on Tuesday, killing four people, as the Trump administration continues its monthslong campaign against alleged traffickers in Latin America.
The latest attack brings the number of people who have been killed in boat strikes by the U.S. military to at least 227 in 68 strikes since the Trump administration began targeting those it calls “narcoterrorists” almost a year ago. As with most of the military’s statements on strikes in the eastern Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea, U.S. Southern Command said it targeted the alleged drug traffickers along known smuggling routes.
The military didn’t provide evidence that the vessel was ferrying drugs, but said on X that “confirmed intelligence revealed the vessel’s active involvement in narco-trafficking.” A video in that same post on X showed an image of what appeared to be a moving boat followed by a flash.
Tuesday’s strike came just two days after the U.S. military carried out a strike on a vessel in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing two people accused of trafficking drugs. That action came after a pause of more than two months in the U.S. campaign against alleged smugglers.
The Trump administration is pursuing deals with allied nations to extend its offensive to land across multiple Latin American countries. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said during a visit to Panama this month that Colombia, Guatemala and Honduras had agreed to let the U.S. carry out joint military operations against criminal groups on their soil. Guatemala denied reaching such a deal. Ecuador launched similar missions with the U.S. in March.
President Trump has said the U.S. is in “armed conflict” with cartels in Latin America and has justified the attacks as a necessary escalation to stem the flow of drugs into the United States and fatal overdoses claiming American lives. But his administration has offered little evidence to support its claims of killing smugglers.
