LOS ANGELES, May 8 (Reuters) – The U.S. military on Friday said it struck a vessel in the Eastern Pacific, killing two people and leaving one survivor in the latest attack on boats suspected of transporting narcotics.
• U.S. Southern Command said two males were killed in the strike while one person survived.
• The U.S. Coast Guard was notified for search and rescue operations, Southern Command said.
• U.S. forces have attacked multiple alleged drug-running boats in the Eastern Pacific in recent weeks.
• The U.S. military’s strikes on such vessels in the Caribbean and Pacific have killed more than 190 people since September.
• Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International call the strikes “unlawful extrajudicial killings.”
