美國軍隊於週四在太平洋攻擊了一艘船，導致三人死亡。

The U.S. military wants to stop drugs from entering the country. They say this is a war against drug groups. Since September, at least 211 people died in these attacks.

美國軍隊希望阻止毒品進入國內。他們表示這是一場對抗毒品集團的戰爭。自九月以來，這些攻擊已導致至少 211 人死亡。

Some people disagree with this plan. They say drugs come by land, not by sea. The President of Colombia says the U.S. should catch the leaders of the drug groups, not the workers.

有些人不同意這個計劃。他們認為毒品是經由陸路而非海路進入。哥倫比亞總統表示，美國應該緝捕毒品集團的領導者，而非基層員工。

Some lawyers say these attacks are illegal. They talk about an attack in September where the military killed people who were already hurt. U.S. Senators want to see the videos of these attacks.

部分律師指出這些攻擊是違法的。他們提到九月的一次攻擊中，軍隊殺死了已經受傷的人。美國參議員要求查看這些攻擊的影片。

The U.S. continues to attack boats. Many people still argue about the law and the rules.

The United States military carried out a deadly attack on a ship in the eastern Pacific Ocean on Thursday, which resulted in three deaths.

美國軍方於週四對東太平洋的一艘船隻發動致命攻擊，導致三人死亡。

The operation was led by Joint Task Force Southern Spear under General Francis L. Donovan. The target was a vessel operated by groups labeled as 'Designated Terrorist Organizations' that was traveling along known drug trafficking routes. Since this campaign began in early September, at least 211 people have been killed. The Trump administration has described these actions as part of an 'armed conflict' with Latin American cartels, emphasizing that these steps are necessary to reduce the amount of drugs entering the U.S. and to lower death rates from overdoses.

此次行動由 Francis L. Donovan 將軍領導的「南方之矛」聯合特遣部隊（Joint Task Force Southern Spear）執行。目標是一艘由被標記為「指定恐怖組織」的團體營運，且正沿已知毒品走私路線航行的船隻。自九月初開始這場行動以來，至少已有 211 人被殺。川普政府將這些行動描述為與拉丁美洲販毒集團「武裝衝突」的一環，並強調這些步驟對於減少進入美國的毒品數量以及降低藥物過量死亡率至關重要。

However, some critics question if this strategy is actually effective or legal. They argue that fentanyl, the main cause of overdose deaths, mostly enters the U.S. by land from Mexico using chemicals from China and India. Furthermore, Colombian President Gustavo Petro asserted that attacking low-level workers is ineffective. He suggested that the only way to stop these organizations is to capture their leaders. He also claimed that some victims may have been civilians, although the U.S. government denies this.

然而，一些批評者質疑該策略是否真正有效或合法。他們認為，導致過量死亡的主因——芬太尼，大部分是透過陸路從墨西哥進入美國，且化學原料來自中國和印度。此外，哥倫比亞總統 Gustavo Petro 主張，攻擊基層人員是沒有效果的。他建議停止這些組織的唯一方法是逮捕其領導者。他還聲稱部分受害者可能是平民，儘管美國政府否認了這一點。

Legal concerns have grown since a September attack where a 'double-tap' maneuver killed two survivors who were holding onto wreckage after an initial strike. While the White House claimed this was a legal act of self-defense, many legal experts argue that attacking survivors is illegal. Consequently, U.S. Senators have asked for the original, unedited video of these events. At the same time, the Department of Defense is reviewing whether the military followed its official targeting process, though they noted this review does not decide if the strikes were legal.

自九月一次攻擊後，法律疑慮日益增加，當時一次「二次打擊」（double-tap）行動殺死了兩名在初步打擊後抓著殘骸生存的倖存者。雖然白宮聲稱這是合法的自衛行為，但許多法律專家認為攻擊倖存者是非法的。因此，美國參議員要求提供這些事件的原始未剪接影片。與此同時，國防部正在審查軍方是否遵循了官方的目標選定程序，儘管他們指出此次審查並不決定該打擊是否合法。

The U.S. is continuing its sea campaign against suspected traffickers while facing legal challenges and calls for more transparency from lawmakers.

美國在面對法律挑戰及國會議員要求提高透明度的情況下，繼續在海上對涉嫌走私者進行打擊。

The United States military conducted a lethal strike on a vessel in the eastern Pacific Ocean on Thursday, resulting in three fatalities.

美國軍方於週四對東太平洋的一艘船隻進行致命打擊，導致三人死亡。

The operation, executed by Joint Task Force Southern Spear under the direction of General Francis L. Donovan of U.S. Southern Command, targeted a vessel characterized as being operated by 'Designated Terrorist Organizations.' According to official statements, the vessel was transiting established narcotics trafficking routes. This incident contributes to a cumulative total of at least 211 fatalities since the commencement of this campaign in early September. The Trump administration has framed these actions within the context of an 'armed conflict' with Latin American cartels, asserting that such escalations are requisite to mitigate the domestic influx of narcotics and associated mortality rates.

此次行動由美國南方司令部 Francis L. Donovan 將軍領導的「南方之矛」聯合特遣隊執行，目標為一艘被定義為由「指定恐怖組織」營運的船隻。根據官方聲明，該船隻當時正行經既定的毒品走私路線。自九月初開始這場行動以來，累計至少有 211 人死亡。川普政府將這些行動定義為與拉丁美洲卡特爾之間的「武裝衝突」，聲稱必須採取此類升級行動，才能減少毒品流入美國國內以及相關的死亡率。

However, the strategic efficacy and legal basis of these operations have been contested. Critics observe that fentanyl, a primary driver of overdose fatalities, is predominantly transported via terrestrial routes from Mexico, utilizing precursors sourced from China and India. Furthermore, Colombian President Gustavo Petro has posited that the targeting of low-level operatives is an ineffective methodology, suggesting that the apprehension of organizational leadership is the only viable strategy for disruption. He has further alleged that some casualties may have been non-combatants, a claim the U.S. administration denies.

然而，這些行動的戰略成效與法律依據一直受到質疑。批評者指出，導致藥物過量死亡的主因——芬太尼，主要經由墨西哥的陸路運輸，而前體物質則源自中國與印度。此外，哥倫比亞總統 Gustavo Petro 認為，針對低階人員的做法是低效的，並建議逮捕組織領導層才是唯一可行的瓦解策略。他進一步指稱部分死者可能是非戰鬥人員，但美國政府否認這一點。

Legal scrutiny has intensified following an initial strike in September, wherein a 'double-tap' maneuver resulted in the deaths of two survivors who were clinging to wreckage after an initial strike had killed nine others. While the White House maintained that the subsequent strike was a self-defense measure conducted in accordance with the laws of armed conflict, various legal scholars contend that the targeting of survivors is illicit regardless of the conflict's status. Consequently, U.S. Senators have requested the release of unedited footage of these engagements. Concurrently, the Department of Defense Inspector General is reviewing adherence to the six-phase Joint Targeting Cycle, although the office has specified that this evaluation does not encompass the legal validity of the strikes.

自九月一次打擊行動後，法律審查變得更加嚴格。在該次行動中，軍方採取了「二次打擊」手段，導致兩名在初次打擊（已造成九人死亡）後攀附在殘骸上的倖存者死亡。雖然白宮堅持隨後的打擊是符合武裝衝突法的自衛措施，但多位法律學者認為，無論衝突狀態如何，針對倖存者的打擊均屬非法。因此，美國參議員已要求公開這些交戰過程的未經編輯片段。與此同時，國防部監察長正審查是否遵守六階段聯合目標週期，但該辦公室明確表示，此次評估並不包括打擊行動的法律有效性。

The U.S. continues its maritime campaign against alleged traffickers amidst ongoing legal disputes and demands for greater transparency from legislative bodies.

在法律爭議以及立法機關要求提高透明度的情況下，美國繼續對涉嫌走私者進行海上行動。
