The U.S. military struck another boat in the Caribbean on Thursday, the sixth known attack since last month and the first known with survivors, a U.S. official told CBS News. The Trump administration hasn't publicly announced the strike; prior attacks targeted alleged drug-carrying vessels, with at least 27 people killed off Venezuela. Lawmakers are challenging the legal basis and evidence. The operations unfold amid a broader buildup—eight warships, fighter jets, 10,000 troops, and B-52 bombers flying about 150 miles north of Venezuela—as President Trump pressures Nicolás Maduro and confirms authorizing covert CIA action tied to drugs and migration.
