美国军方周一表示，其在太平洋对一艘疑似贩毒船只发动打击，造成2人死亡。
美国南方司令部（SOUTHCOM）在X平台上发帖称，此次打击行动于周日展开，目标是一艘“在东太平洋既定贩毒航线活动的船只”。
该司令部补充道：“经确认的情报显示，该船只积极参与贩毒活动。”
“此次行动清晰且明确地表明，南方司令部正直接向贩毒 cartel 宣战，”美国南方司令部表示。
该帖附带的黑白模糊视频显示，一艘船只在水面航行后发生剧烈爆炸。军方未指明该船只的类型，但从外观来看，这似乎是一艘长型半潜式船只，有时也被称为“贩毒潜艇”。

贩毒潜艇无法完全潜入水中，因其有时能躲过执法部门的侦测，因而成为国际毒贩的常用工具。
“我们致力于给贩毒恐怖分子制造全面的系统性阻碍——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，”弗朗西斯·L·多诺万将军在周一的一份声明中说道。
美军于去年9月启动了“南部长矛”行动，特朗普总统称华盛顿实际上正与在拉美活动的贩毒 cartel 处于战争状态。
自那以来，东太平洋和加勒比海地区的打击行动已造成超过200人死亡。
特朗普政府并未提供确凿证据，证明其打击的船只确实参与了贩毒活动。
批评此次打击行动的人士质疑行动的整体合法性以及效果。其中一个论点是，导致美国许多药物过量死亡的芬太尼，通常是从墨西哥通过陆路走私的，而芬太尼的生产原料是从中国和印度进口的化学品。
此前，美国议员曾要求五角大楼公布首次打击行动的“未编辑视频”。此前有报道称，美军在首次袭击后，对幸存人员发动了后续打击。
一些议员质疑此次后续打击是否构成战争罪。美国国防部和多名国会共和党议员坚称，幸存人员可能仍在参与对抗行动，因此有理由发动后续打击。
五角大楼监察机构5月表示，计划调查美军在开展打击行动时是否遵循了既定的目标选定框架。但监察长办公室表示，此次评估仅针对所谓的六阶段联合目标选定周期，而非打击行动的合法性。
今年6月，美军在加勒比海对一艘被指控在该地区走私毒品的船只发动打击，造成2人死亡、6人幸存。

U.S. military destroys alleged drug-smuggling boat in Pacific Ocean, killing 2 people

The United States military said Monday it carried out a strike on an alleged drug-trafficking boat in the Pacific Ocean, killing two people.
U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) said in a post on X that the strike, which took place Sunday, targeted a vessel “operating along established narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific.”
“Confirmed intelligence revealed the vessel’s active involvement in narco-trafficking,” it added.
“This operation is a clear and decisive reminder that SOUTHCOM is taking the fight directly to the cartels,” SOUTHCOM said.
Grainy black-and-white video footage accompanying the post showed a boat moving through the water before a large explosion. The military did not identify the style of boat but it appears to be a long semi-submersible vessel, sometimes called a “narco sub.”

Narco subs, which cannot go fully underwater, are popular among international drug traffickers as they can sometimes elude detection by law enforcement.
“We are committed to imposing total systemic friction on narco-terrorists — disrupting their operations, dismantling their leadership, and eliminating cartel terror across the region,” Gen. Francis L. Donovan said in a statement Monday.
The U.S. military launched operation “Southern Spear” last September, with President Trump arguing Washington is effectively at war with drug cartels operating out of Latin America.
Since then, more than 200 people have been killed in strikes in the eastern Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea.
The Trump administration has not provided definitive evidence that the vessels it has been striking are involved in drug trafficking.
Critics of the strikes have questioned the overall legality as well as their effectiveness. Part of the argument has been that the fentanyl behind many fatal U.S. drug overdoses is typically trafficked over land from Mexico, where it is produced with chemicals imported from China and India.
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.
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 Pentagon’s watchdog said in May that it planned to look into whether the U.S. military followed an established targeting framework when carrying out the strikes. However, the evaluation is focused specifically on what’s known as the six-phase Joint Targeting Cycle and not on the legality of the strikes, the inspector general’s office said.
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.
