US Military Strikes Drug Vessels

The U.S. military has been attacking boats they think are carrying drugs.

On September 2, they attacked a boat in the Caribbean, killing 11 people.

After the first attack, there were survivors in the water, and a second attack was carried out, killing them too.

This has caused a big argument among U.S. lawmakers.

Democrats are upset, saying the video of the second attack shows the survivors were in distress and shouldn't have been killed.

Republicans, however, support the decision, saying the boat was full of drugs and the survivors were a threat.

The U.S. Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, is also in trouble for using a private app called Signal to share sensitive information, which a report says could have put U.S. troops in danger.

Recently, the U.S. military killed four more people in a similar strike in the Pacific.

These strikes are part of a bigger campaign against drug cartels, but some people say the U.S. is treating drug traffickers like terrorists, which might not be legal.
