Four men were killed Friday in a U.S. military strike reportedly targeting suspected drug runners in the Caribbean Sea — the latest in a series of attacks in the region.

It's now the fourth strike in a campaign that has been legally disputed, The New York Times reports.

President Donald Trump responded to the attack via his Truth Social platform, sharing an unclassified video of the attack:...

MEXICO CITY — Security forces have this year arrested over 27,000 suspected drug gang members, as part of Mexico's ongoing bloody military-led crackdown on cartel operations, officials said.

Mexico scored a success in its war on drug cartels, announcing that its security forces killed the boss of the 'La Familia' drug cartel in a shoot-out in the western state of Michoacan.

Profits driven by the prohibition of drugs and other criminal enterprises have enabled the Zeta cartel to become "a parallel government," according to a Mexican lawmaker quoted in a Sunday report by The Washington Post.
