US Navy strikes suspected narco boat in Caribbean, killing four; 200 dead since Trump crackdown

A US military operation against a suspected drug-smuggling vessel in the Caribbean resulted in four deaths, according to AFP. This incident is part of a broader campaign initiated under President Trump targeting maritime drug routes, with AFP reporting 200 fatalities in such operations across the Caribbean and Pacific.
