US Capitol Incident, Epstein, Gaza, and Russia in Headlines

US Military Strikes on Drug Boats Kill 11, Raising Death Toll to 145

WASHINGTON, D.C. - American forces launched attacks on three alleged drug-smuggling boats, resulting in the deaths of 11 individuals, according to US military officials. The strikes, which occurred on Monday in the eastern Pacific and Caribbean, are part of a months-long campaign against alleged traffickers initiated by the Trump administration. This action brings the total number of fatalities caused by US strikes to 145 since September.

The US Southern Command posted video of the strikes on social media. The military action targeted vessels believed to be involved in drug trafficking. Details regarding the specific locations of the strikes and the identities of those killed were not immediately available.

In other news, a Kremlin official warned that Russia's navy could intervene to prevent Western powers from seizing Russian vessels. Nikolai Patrushev, a Kremlin aide, stated that Russia needed to send a strong message regarding sanctions against the country's oil shipments and its "shadow fleet."

Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., police arrested an 18-year-old man as he ran toward the Capitol Building with a loaded shotgun and extra ammunition. The suspect, identified as Carter Camacho from Smyrna, Georgia, was wearing a tactical vest and gloves.

Additionally, a group of United Nations experts suggested that abuses carried out by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein could meet the definition of crimes against humanity. The independent experts, appointed by the UN Human Rights Council, released a statement in response to the millions of files released by the United States government related to criminal investigations into Epstein.

Finally, dozens of actors and directors, including Javier Bardem and Tilda Swinton, have condemned the Berlin International Film Festival for its stance on the Israel-Gaza war. In an open letter published in Variety, the 81 film workers urged organizers to clearly state their opposition to Israel's actions.
