U.S. Central and Southern Commands conducted a strike on a boat in the eastern Pacific Ocean on June 18, 2026, killing two people and leaving six survivors, marking more than the 60th such operation since early September with over 210 total deaths reported. The military notified the U.S. Coast Guard but released no public evidence confirming drug trafficking aboard the vessel. A prior June 16 strike left two survivors, after which the Coast Guard suspended its search.
