US military kills suspected smugglers at sea
138
The US military attacked boats. The attacks happened in the Pacific and Caribbean. On Tuesday, 3 men died in the Pacific. On Monday, 2 men died in the Caribbean. The US military says: The men were drug smugglers. Drug smugglers move illegal goods across borders in secret. They supposedly brought drugs to the USA. There is no proof for this yet.
Donald Trump gave the order for these attacks. He is the president of the USA. He wants to stop the drug trade. Since last year, many such attacks happened. More than 190 people died.
Experts have doubts about the attacks. They say: The dead get no punishment from a court. This is maybe not allowed by international law. International law are rules for how countries live together. Human rights groups criticize the violence. They call the acts lawless killings.
