The US military again repeated its claim, without providing any evidence, that it was targeting people suspected of drug trafficking.
International law and human rights experts have repeatedly said that such attacks amount to extrajudicial executions, even if those targeted are alleged to be engaged in trafficking drugs.
According to monitors and tallies kept by media organisations, the US has now carried out some 37 attacks against 39 vessels in the eastern Pacific and Caribbean Sea, killing at least 130 people, including an attack that killed two people earlier this week.
