美国军方周一早些时候表示，其在东太平洋打击了一艘疑似运毒船只，这是两个多月来已知的首次此类打击行动。
美国南方司令部（SOUTHCOM）在X平台发布的一份声明中称：“西半球联合特遣部队对在东太平洋既定贩毒航线活动的低可视度船只实施了致命动能打击。”
据南方司令部消息，此次周日的袭击造成两人死亡。
据CNN报道，此次袭击被认为是自6月21日以来的首次。目前尚不清楚加勒比海和东太平洋地区的打击行动为何暂停。
在此次暂停之前，根据官方公告和CNN对搜救行动的分析，自2025年9月“南部长矛行动”启动以来，美军已摧毁至少67艘船只，造成至少221人死亡。
本届政府已向国会表明，美国正与贩毒 cartel 处于“武装冲突”中，将死者贴上“非法战斗人员”的标签，并声称根据司法部一份机密调查结果，美国有权在不经过司法审查的情况下发动致命打击。
执法官员和专家对特朗普政府的这一战略及其为该地区毒品贸易带来切实改变的有效性表示怀疑。
在周一的声明中，美国南方司令部司令弗朗西斯·L·多诺万将军重申了美军打击毒品贸易的承诺，他表示：“我们致力于给恐怖贩毒分子造成全面的系统性阻碍——破坏他们的行动、瓦解他们的领导层，并消除该地区的 cartel 恐怖主义。”
“此次行动有力展示了我们致命的精准打击能力、压倒性的实力以及保护美国本土的绝对决心，”多诺万在该帖子中说道。

US launches deadly strike on alleged drug boat, believed to be the first in two months

The US military said early Monday it struck an alleged drug trafficking boat in the eastern Pacific, marking the first known strike in more than two months.
“Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere executed a lethal kinetic strike on a low-profile vessel operating along established narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific,” US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) said in a statement on X.
Two people were killed in the strike on Sunday, according to SOUTHCOM.
The strikes are believed to be the first since June 21. It was not clear why the strikes in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific paused, as CNN has reported.
Prior to the pause, the US military had destroyed at least 67 vessels and killed at least 221 people since the “Operation Southern Spear” campaign began in September 2025, according to official announcements and CNN’s analysis of search and rescue efforts.
The administration has told Congress the US is in an “armed conflict” against drug cartels, labeling those killed “unlawful combatants” and claiming the ability to engage in lethal strikes without judicial review due to a classified Justice Department finding.
Law enforcement officials and experts have expressed skepticism over the Trump administration’s strategy and its effectiveness at bringing meaningful change to the region’s drug trade.
In its statement Monday, SOUTHCOM Commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan reiterated the US military’s commitment to combating the drug trade, saying: “We are committed to imposing total systemic friction on narco-terrorists – disrupting their operations, dismantling their leadership, and eliminating cartel terror across the region.”
“This operation is a powerful demonstration of our lethal precision, overwhelming capability, and absolute resolve to protect the U.S. homeland,” Donovan said in the post.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
