The US military said on Tuesday it carried out a strike on a vessel in the eastern Pacific, killing four men.

The strike comes a day after the US military said that a strike, also in the eastern Pacific, had killed two men.

The Trump administration has been targeting vessels suspected of transporting narcotics with military strikes.
