May 4 - The U.S. military said on Monday that it struck a vessel in the Caribbean, killing two people, alleging that the vessel struck was operated by "designated terrorist organizations" that it did not identify.
The U.S. Southern Command said that no U.S. military forces were harmed. It described those killed as "male narco-terrorists," without offering details.
This is the latest such attack condemned by rights groups as "extrajudicial killings" and which the Trump administration says are aimed at "narco-terrorists."
