U.S. Military Kills Four 'Narco-Terrorists' in Caribbean Strike
- The U.S. military struck a suspected drug smuggling vessel in the Caribbean, killing four individuals described as 'narco-terrorists'.

- The Pentagon has not provided evidence that the vessel was transporting drugs at the time of the strike, and critics question the legality and effectiveness of these operations.
