"The news agency Reuters broke the story of a new attack on Thursday. It was the first time survivors have been reported since the US began its bombing campaign in the Caribbean on September 2. A Department of Defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told news outlets in the US that the two survivors have been taken into custody. It is unclear whether they will be prosecuted or what their condition is. Two others died in the blast, according to reports."
"In Friday's meeting, Secretary of State Marco Rubio declined to offer further details when asked about the survivors. He did, however, defend US operations as necessary to intercept illegal drugs. We're undertaking these operations against narco-terrorists, Rubio said. That's what these are. These are terrorists. Let's be clear. Five other attacks have been confirmed by the Trump administration, with at least 28 people killed in total."
President Donald Trump confirmed a US strike on a vessel in the Caribbean Sea, saying the target was a drug-carrying submarine. The strike reportedly produced survivors; Reuters reported the attack and two survivors were later taken into custody by US forces, while two others died. The Department of Defense spoke on condition of anonymity and details about prosecution or medical condition remain unclear. Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the operations as necessary to intercept illegal drugs, labeling the targets 'narco-terrorists.' The Trump administration has confirmed five other attacks since September 2, with at least 28 fatalities, increasing tensions with Venezuela.
