US military says it struck vessel in Caribbean, killing two


May 4 (Reuters) - ⁠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."
