The U.S. military has released videos of 21 separate attacks on boats it has identified as drug trafficking vessels. These clips, made public by the Pentagon, show strikes conducted in the open ocean.
However, the footage provides a limited view of these operations. The videos do not show the process of identifying the targeted boats or the aftermath of the strikes.
This evidence highlights the military's ongoing efforts to intercept illegal drugs at sea. Yet the released material tells only part of the story, omitting key details about the procedures and outcomes.
