Pentagon Under Scrutiny After Video Reveals Second Strike on Shipwrecked Suspects

File photo: A US military strike on a Venezuelan drug cartel vessel that had been on its way to the United States according to President Trump.

The Pentagon is facing mounting legal and ethical questions after newly surfaced footage appeared to show U.S. forces conducting a second strike on suspected drug traffickers who had already been shipwrecked.

Legal experts argue that the second strike could violate international humanitarian law, which prohibits targeting individuals who are hors de combat—those incapacitated or no longer posing a threat.

The controversy underscores broader debates about the use of force in counter-narcotics missions and the balance between national security objectives and adherence to international law.
