By US military has killed nearly 250 people in attack on ‘narco-terrorism’, and on 17 March, sank the 16 plaintiffs’ boat, leaving two with serious burns
More than a dozen Ecuadorian fishermen are suing the US government after they survived a military drone attack in the Pacific ocean earlier this year that sank their boat and left two of them with serious burns from the explosions.
The 17 March attack on the La Negra Francesca Duarte II was part of the Trump administration’s Operation Southern Spear campaign, announced in November 2025 ostensibly to counter “narco-terrorists” it said operated in the Caribbean and Pacific.
