Coast Guard recovers survivor and two dead from Pacific boat strike area
TL;DR Summary
The U.S. military struck a boat in the eastern Pacific, sinking its vessel and leaving three men adrift. The U.S. Coast Guard recovered two dead bodies and one seriously injured survivor from the same area and handed them to Costa Rica’s Coast Guard; the survivor was transported to Golfito for medical care. While officials said the rescue operation was not explicitly tied to the strike, the event occurred in the context of a broader anti‑drug campaign that has produced numerous casualties and drawn legal criticisms, making it the 46th such strike with at least 159 deaths.
