THE US military launched another strike on a boat it claimed was ferrying drugs in the Caribbean Sea, killing three people on Sunday.

The Trump administration’s campaign of blowing up boats in Latin American waters has continued since early September, and has killed at least 181 people in total.

Other strikes have taken place in the Pacific Ocean.

Despite the Iran war, the series of strikes has ramped up again in the past week, showing that the administration’s aggressive measures to stop what it calls “narcoterrorism” are not letting up.

The military has not provided any evidence that the vessels were carrying drugs.

The attacks began as the US built up its largest military presence in the region in generations and came months ahead of the kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in January.

In the latest attack on Sunday, US Southern Command repeated previous statements by saying it had targeted the alleged drug traffickers along known smuggling routes.

It posted a video on social media showing a boat moving along the water before a massive explosion engulfed the vessel in flames.

President Donald Trump has said the US is in “armed conflict” with cartels in Latin America and has justified the attacks as a necessary escalation to stem the flow of drugs into the US and fatal overdoses claiming American lives.

But his administration has offered little evidence to support its claims of killing “narcoterrorists.”
