Summary

The United States Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) announced that it conducted a lethal kinetic strike against a vessel in the Caribbean Sea as part of Operation Southern Spear, an initiative targeting suspected drug traffickers. The U.S. government reports that the operation resulted in 4 deaths, describing the individuals as narco-terrorists and combatants in an armed conflict. However, this account is disputed; Ben Saul, the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and Counter-Terrorism, and the families of the victims have denied the U.S. claims, asserting that the victims were fishermen.
