美国军方在委内瑞拉附近对疑似毒品船只发动第四次打击
摘要
美国军方在委内瑞拉海岸附近对一艘船只发动打击，造成四人死亡，此举发生在紧张局势升级和法律争议之际。
美国军方于周五上午在委内瑞拉海岸附近对一艘船只发动打击，导致船上四人全部死亡。国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯宣布了此次行动，称被打击的船只是一艘“毒品贩运船”，在国际水域活动。
这是自九月初以来，美国军方在加勒比地区已知的第四次打击行动，每次都针对美国政府声称与最近被指定为恐怖组织的毒品卡特尔有关联的船只。
赫格塞斯表示，应特朗普总统指示，他授权对“在南方司令部责任区内与指定恐怖组织有关联的毒品贩运船只实施致命的动能打击”。他强调，情报确认该船正运输大量毒品，目标是运往美国。
此次打击发生在委内瑞拉海岸附近的国际水域，此举可能进一步加剧美委关系紧张。委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗最近表示，正在准备宣布紧急状态，以应对可能的美国军事行动。
法律专家和立法者对这些打击的合法性提出质疑。五角大楼通知国会，特朗普总统认定美国正与指定的毒品卡特尔处于“武装冲突”状态，将其走私者归类为“非法战斗人员”。
赫格塞斯表示，此类行动将持续进行，他说：“这些打击将继续，直到针对美国人民的攻击结束为止。”
