Survivors reported for 1st time in latest US Caribbean airstrike: Official

The U.S. military conducted an airstrike Thursday targeting an alleged drug vessel in the Caribbean, according to a U.S. official.

There are survivors from the strike, according to the official.

In previous, similar strikes, the U.S. has claimed that there have been no survivors.

Reuters was first to report the details of the latest strike and reported survivors.

Thursday’s strike would be at least the sixth such strike targeting what the Trump administration has labeled as drug drug-smuggling craft operated by narcoterrorists.

The administration has not made public any evidence to support those assertions.
