U.S. forces carried out a strike on a boat in the Caribbean on Thursday that left survivors, two U.S. officials told CNN. The military has conducted at least six strikes; unlike the prior five, Thursday’s wasn’t publicly disclosed and was the first not to kill everyone on board, with survivors’ status unclear. Reuters first reported the incident. The Defense Secretary’s office had no immediate comment. CNN also reported a classified legal opinion backing lethal action against cartels, and Trump said he authorized CIA operations in Venezuela to curb migrants and drugs.
