A year after Donald Trump’s administration began its campaign of boat strikes, families of those killed or missing are still seeking answers about what happened to their relatives.
The military operations, which targeted boats allegedly linked to drug trafficking, have drawn controversy over the circumstances surrounding the strikes and whether those targeted were involved in criminal activity.
Families say they have struggled to obtain clear information about the identities of those killed, the evidence used to justify the attacks and what happened in the moments before the strikes.
Human rights organisations and some legal experts have questioned the legality and transparency of the campaign, calling for independent investigations into deaths resulting from the operations.
US officials have defended the strikes as part of efforts to combat drug trafficking and protect national security, arguing that the targeted vessels posed a threat.
But one year on, relatives continue to demand accountability and official explanations, saying they deserve to know the truth about what happened to their loved ones.
