美军称，本周二在东太平洋海域袭击了一艘被指贩毒的船只，造成5人死亡。这是特朗普政府针对拉丁美洲疑似贩毒者的行动持续推进的一部分。
此次袭击使美军因船只袭击事件造成的死亡人数升至至少240人，这类袭击已累计超过70次。特朗普政府自2025年9月起开始打击其所谓的“毒品恐怖分子”。
与美军针对东太平洋和加勒比海袭击事件的多数声明一致，美国南方司令部表示，他们沿已知贩毒路线打击了这些疑似毒贩，且“情报显示该船只积极参与毒品走私活动”。
军方未提供该船只运输毒品的证据。X平台上发布的一段视频显示，一艘小船在水中被爆炸吞噬，被毁前该船只似乎并未移动。

特朗普总统曾表示，美国与拉丁美洲的贩毒集团处于“武装冲突”状态，他将这些袭击辩护为阻止毒品流入美国、挽救因过量服药丧生的美国人的必要升级行动。但他的政府几乎未提供证据支持其“击毙毒品恐怖分子”的说法。
批评人士对这些船只袭击的整体合法性和有效性提出质疑，部分原因在于，导致大量致命服药过量事件的芬太尼通常由墨西哥生产，经陆路走私进入美国，而墨西哥生产芬太尼的化学原料则从中国和印度进口。
这些袭击受到了部分民主党议员和军事法律学者的严格审查。五角大楼监察长于今年5月表示，计划调查美军在开展这些致命行动时是否遵循了既定的目标设定框架，其中包括军事指挥官的意图、目标开发与执行等环节。但该审查不会调查这些袭击的合法性。
本周二的袭击是在国务卿马可·卢比奥今年9月承诺寻求地区美国盟友对这类袭击的批准后实施的少数袭击之一。卢比奥对记者表示，尽管美国“有能力采取单方面行动”，但更愿意与盟友合作，因为这是“最有效的方式”。
卢比奥上个月在秘鲁的表态似乎标志着战略调整。不过，卢比奥也表示，美军“必要时仍会炸毁船只”，且具体做法将是“逐次袭击或逐次行动决定”。
今年8月，美军称在太平洋海域对一艘疑似贩毒船只发动袭击，造成2人死亡。军方未说明船只类型，但该船似乎是一种长形半潜式船只，有时被称为“贩毒潜艇”。
今年6月，美军在加勒比海地区针对一艘被指贩毒的船只发动袭击，造成2人死亡，另有6人生还。
美国议员此前曾要求五角大楼公布首次袭击的“未剪辑视频”，此前有报道称，美国选择对首轮袭击的生还者发动二次袭击。一位知情人士告诉CBS新闻，2025年9月那次袭击的两名生还者在船只被第二次击中前试图爬回船上。
部分议员质疑那次二次袭击是否构成战争罪。国防部和几位国会共和党人坚称，生还者可能仍在参与对抗，因此有理由发动二次袭击。
多名官员向CBS新闻证实，2025年9月，美国在袭击一艘来自委内瑞拉的疑似贩毒船只时，使用了一架涂成民用飞机样式的飞行器，此次袭击造成11人死亡。
U.S. military destroys alleged drug boat in Pacific Ocean, killing 5 people
October 28, 2026 / 6:28 AM EDT / CBS/AP
The U.S. military said it attacked a boat it accused of smuggling drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean on Tuesday, killing five people, as the Trump administration continues its campaign against alleged traffickers in Latin America.
The latest attack brings the number of people who have been killed by the U.S. military’s boat strikes to at least 240 in more than 70 strikes. The Trump administration began targeting those it calls “narcoterrorists” in September 2025.
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 and that “intelligence revealed the vessel’s active involvement in narcotrafficking.”
The military did not provide evidence that the vessel was ferrying drugs. A video posted on X showed a small boat in the water before it was enveloped by an explosion. The vessel does not appear to be moving before it is destroyed.

President Trump has said the U.S. is in “armed conflict” with cartels in Latin America and he has sought to justify 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 “narcoterrorists.”
Critics have questioned the overall legality of the boat strikes as well as their effectiveness, in part because the fentanyl behind many fatal overdoses is typically trafficked to the U.S. over land from Mexico, where it is produced with chemicals imported from China and India.
The attacks have drawn intense scrutiny from some Democratic lawmakers and military legal scholars. The Pentagon’s watchdog said in May that it plans to look into whether the U.S. military followed an established targeting framework when carrying out the lethal operations, which include a military commander’s intent, target development and execution. But the evaluation will not probe the legality of the strikes.
Tuesday’s strike is among a few that have followed Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s pledge in September to seek the approval of U.S. allies in the region for carrying out such attacks. Rubio told reporters that while the U.S. has “the capacity to act unilaterally,” it would rather work with its allies because that is “the most effective way to do it.”
Rubio’s statements in Peru last month appeared to signal a shift in strategy. However, Rubio also said the U.S. military would “still blow up ships if need be” and the approach would be “a strike-by-strike or operation-by-operation determination.”
In August, the U.S. military said it carried out a strike on an alleged drug-trafficking boat in the Pacific Ocean, killing two people. The military did not identify the style of boat but it appears to be a long semi-submersible vessel, sometimes called a “narco sub.”
In June, the U.S. military conducted a strike in the Caribbean against a boat accused of smuggling drugs in the region, killing two people and leaving six survivors.
U.S. lawmakers have previously demanded that the Pentagon release “unedited video” of the very first strike that the military conducted after reports emerged that the U.S. chose to conduct a follow-on strike on survivors of its initial attack. Two people who survived that September 2025 strike were attempting to climb back onto the boat before it was hit a second time, a source familiar with the matter told CBS News.
Some lawmakers have questioned whether that follow-on strike constituted a war crime. The Defense Department and several congressional Republicans have insisted the survivors may have still been in the fight, warranting the follow-on strike.
The U.S. used an aircraft painted like a civilian plane in the attack on an alleged drug-smuggling boat from Venezuela that killed 11 people in September 2025, multiple officials confirmed to CBS News.
