In a dramatic military operation, the US Navy destroyed a boat in international waters near the Venezuelan coast on Monday, resulting in the deaths of six individuals, as confirmed by former President Donald Trump. The targeted vessel was allegedly involved in drug trafficking, prompting the US government to label the operation as a strike against ‘narcoterrorists.’ Trump released a video showing the moment the boat exploded, emphasizing the action as part of America’s broader campaign against illegal drug networks. The US administration defended the operation, asserting its legality under international law and its alignment with efforts to combat organized crime. However, the incident has drawn criticism from legal experts and human rights advocates, who question the transparency and justification of such attacks, particularly in the absence of publicly disclosed evidence. Critics argue that the move sets a concerning precedent for unilateral military actions in international waters, raising questions about adherence to international legal standards.
