(Reuters) - The US military said it killed four people in a strike on a vessel in the Caribbean on Saturday that it alleged was involved in drug trafficking.

"Confirmed intelligence ⁠revealed the vessel's active involvement in narco-trafficking," the military's Southern Command posted on X.

The attack was the latest in a campaign dating back to last year that targets what the Trump administration ⁠describes as "narco-terrorists."

Saturday's announcement comes 10 days after a strike, also in the Caribbean, that killed three ⁠people, the US military said.

Since the campaign started, US strikes on vessels ⁠in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific have killed more than ⁠220 people.

Rights groups have labeled the attacks "extrajudicial killings."
