US strikes under Operation Southern Spear have killed at least 95 people across 25 attacks since early September, according to US authorities. The Trump administration says it is in an “armed conflict” with drug cartels, allowing the military to carry out lethal action without judicial review. Those killed have been labelled “unlawful combatants,” citing a classified Justice Department finding.
