The Mexican Navy reported that the search for the sole survivor continues about 643 km off the Pacific coast city of Acapulco.

This was the latest in a series of US attacks on ships allegedly carrying drugs in both the Pacific and the Caribbean.

According to Hegseth, the latest strikes in the eastern Pacific, carried out Monday under orders from President Donald Trump, marked an escalation in what he described as a campaign to prevent drugs from entering the United States.

The attacks drew condemnation in the region, and experts questioned their legality. Members of the US Congress from both parties, Democrats and Republicans, also voiced concern and questioned the president’s authority to order such strikes.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said at her morning press conference, “We do not approve of these attacks.” Sheinbaum added that she had asked the foreign minister and naval representatives to hold talks with the US ambassador.
