U.S.Navy Admits to Second Strike on Disabled vessel, Killing Survivors
CARIBBEAN SEA - The U.S. Navy conducted a second, fatal strike on a disabled vessel in the Caribbean Sea after the initial attack left the crew incapacitated, according to emerging reports adn admissions from officials. The incident, part of a broader anti-drug operation authorized by the Trump administration, is drawing scrutiny and raising concerns about potential war crimes.
The first strike rendered the boat unable to continue,but did not immediately sink it. Following this, a second strike was ordered, resulting in the deaths of all individuals on board. Officials are now attributing responsibility for the decision to order the second strike to a specific admiral, whose name has not yet been publicly released.
The Trump administration has defended the actions as necessary to combat drug smuggling, asserting a right to self-defense against narcotics trafficking into the United States. However, no evidence of drugs or smugglers has been publicly presented to support these claims.CNN reported that American officials have admitted they frequently enough lack confirmed identities of those killed in these operations.
The legality of the initial strikes, which have resulted in approximately 80 deaths, is also being questioned, as they were conducted in international waters without Congressional authorization. some legal experts, including conservative commentator Andrew McCarthy, suggest a follow-up attack on survivors could constitute a war crime.
bradley, a key figure in the operation, has requested to testify before Congress regarding the strikes. Meanwhile, President Trump has threatened potential military action against Venezuela, accusing its leadership of collaborating with drug cartels.
