Trump-era anti-drug strikes kill 128 people, sparking a new US lawsuit
February 6, 2026


The US military reports that it killed two suspected drug traffickers during a strike on a boat in the eastern Pacific. This latest incident raises the total number of deaths from the ongoing campaign to at least 128 people. US Southern Command confirmed that the vessel was traveling along established smuggling routes and noted that no American personnel were injured. These operations, which started under President Donald Trump’s administration, have sparked debate regarding their legality and the lack of clear evidence used to justify the strikes. Meanwhile, the families of two men killed in a previous attack have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the US government.
