The U.S. military conducted an aerial strike on a boat suspected of drug trafficking in the Caribbean Sea on Monday, killing two people, according to military officials.

The strike is part of an ongoing campaign by the Trump administration targeting vessels accused of smuggling drugs in Latin American waters. The operation has been active since early September and has resulted in multiple strikes in both the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean.

According to reports, the death toll from this campaign has now reached at least 187 to 188 people, though exact figures vary slightly between sources. The strikes have targeted boats that military officials allege are involved in drug trafficking operations.

The military operations have continued despite other international developments and represent an escalation in U.S. counter-narcotics efforts in the region. The strikes utilize aerial bombardment to destroy suspected drug-trafficking vessels.

The campaign reflects the Trump administration's approach to combating drug smuggling in Latin American waters through direct military action rather than traditional interdiction methods.
