US Strikes Kill Eight in Latest Anti-Drug Boat Raids

US Southern Command says recent strikes on three vessels along Pacific drug routes killed eight people, bringing totals since September to more than 20 boats targeted and at least 90 fatalities. The Trump administration is expanding a military-led approach against drug cartels, with top officials briefing Congress amid controversy over a reported “double-tap” strike.

While the White House defends the actions as lawful and necessary, legal experts warn some operations may breach international law. The campaign also increases pressure on Venezuela, alongside tanker seizures, terror designations, and the classification of fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction.

PSG ordered to pay Mbappe 60 million euros in unpaid salary and bonuses

A Paris court has ruled that Paris Saint-Germain must pay Kylian Mbappé €60 million for unpaid salary, an ethics bonus, and a signing bonus covering April to June 2024, the final months before his move to Real Madrid.

Mbappé’s lawyer noted the club provided no written proof that he had waived the payments, which the French league (LFP) had already recognized as due in earlier rulings. The legal dispute arose from PSG withholding funds amid tensions over Mbappé’s departure.

The ruling resolves part of the contentious contract dispute, though other financial and contractual issues may persist. Mbappé joined Real Madrid on a free transfer in July 2024 after seven seasons with PSG, highlighting the complex stakes when top players exit without a transfer fee.
