The United States military has carried out an attack on a ship suspected of smuggling drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean, which left two people dead and six survivors.

美國軍方在東太平洋攻擊了一艘涉嫌走私毒品的船隻，造成兩人死亡，六人倖存。

This operation is the latest part of a campaign started by the Trump administration in September. Since then, there have been over 60 attacks resulting in more than 210 deaths. U.S. Southern Command emphasizes that these strikes target ships in known smuggling routes; however, no official evidence has been released to prove that illegal drugs were actually on the targeted ships.

此次行動是川普政府於九月啟動的計畫之最新部分。自此之後，已有超過 60 次攻擊，導致 210 多人死亡。美國南方司令部強調，這些打擊是針對已知走私路線上的船隻；然而，尚未公布官方證據證明目標船隻上確實載有非法毒品。

The administration justifies these actions by asserting that the U.S. is in an 'armed conflict' with Latin American cartels to reduce drug overdose deaths at home. Furthermore, critics argue that this strategy is not very effective because most fentanyl is transported by land through Mexico rather than by sea.

政府聲稱美國正與拉丁美洲卡特爾處於「武裝衝突」狀態，以減少國內因藥物過量而導致的死亡，以此證明這些行動的正當性。此外，批評者認為此策略並不十分有效，因為大多數芬太尼是經由墨西哥陸路運輸，而非海路。

There are also legal concerns regarding how these operations are conducted. For example, lawmakers are investigating a previous case where survivors of an initial attack were hit by a second strike. While the White House defended this as a self-defense measure, some legal experts disagree. Consequently, the Department of Defense Inspector General is reviewing whether the military followed the correct targeting procedures, although this review will not decide if the strikes were legal.

關於這些行動的執行方式，亦存在法律疑慮。例如，立法者正在調查先前的一起案例，當時首次攻擊的倖存者被第二次打擊擊中。雖然白宮辯稱這是自衛措施，但部分法律專家並不認同。因此，國防部監察長正在審查軍方是否遵循了正確的目標選定程序，儘管此次審查不會決定這些攻擊是否合法。

The U.S. military is continuing its campaign against suspected narcoterrorists while debates continue over the legality and effectiveness of these attacks.

美國軍方將繼續針對涉嫌毒品恐怖分子進行行動，而關於這些攻擊的合法性與有效性的爭議仍持續進行。
