This is a tragic incident in which a woman and her young child have lost their lives. Our thoughts are with their loved ones.

Join us for a fun and informative day at the Water Safety Fair, where families can engage in activities and learn vital tips for staying safe in and around water.

The HC-130 Hercules crew saw the vessel early in the day about 100 nautical miles northeast of the Mariana's last known position, but authorities could not confirm its identity.

Air Force combat search-and-rescue, also known as CSAR, is the military's force dedicated to rescuing downed aircrew. Combat search-and-rescue missions are dangerous under the best of conditions, ideally on dark nights with no moonlight.

The vessels were transporting aid to the Caribbean's island nation, amid biting shortages triggered by a tightened US embargo. They were due to arrive in Havana on Tuesday or Wednesday but failed to reach the island, prompting a search and rescue mission.

The Mexican Navy activated search and rescue efforts in the Caribbean on Thursday, in hopes to locate two missing sailboats which were carrying humanitarian aid to crisis-hit Cuba.

A car went into the water at the Sausalito Yacht Harbor Monday afternoon. Two people were in that car and both were rescued -- a bystander was able to dive in and pull one person out. That person was taken to the hospital. An emergency dive team was deployed to the scene and rescued the second person, who seems OK.

I stood on the edge of a cliff in Howth, clipped into a harness, listening as a Coast Guard officer calmly checked the ropes that were about to lower me down. Below, waves broke against the rocks at Whitewater Brook while walkers passed along the paths near us, largely unaware of the training exercise taking place just metres away.

The US armed forces have for months been carrying out lethal strikes against vessels it says were engaged in drug smuggling in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific. Now, the families of two men killed in one of those strikes are suing the US government for damages. Two family members of Trinidadian nationals said to have been killed in a US boat strike in the Caribbean have accused the federal government of engaging in "unlawful" activity.

Recovered CWMs continue to pose worker and food safety risks. Because of ocean drift, storms, and offshore industries, sea-disposed CWMs locations are largely unknown and potentially far from their originally documented dump site. The three incidents exposed at least six crew members to mustard agent, which causes blistering chemical burns on skin and mucous membranes.

Maximo Macanas, a McKinleyville resident, was discovered by a local sport vessel on Tuesday, according to a Facebook post by the Del Norte County Sheriff's Office. He was pronounced dead by the county coroner's office on Tuesday afternoon. Macanas was fishing with a friend and his children at the Klamath River near 4351 Klamath Beach Road when he was swept away Saturday afternoon by what the Del Norte County Sheriff's Office described as a sneaker wave,

Sunday's attack brought the death toll to at least 157 people since the Trump administration began targeting those it calls "narcoterrorists" in small vessels in early September. As with most of the military's statements on the more than 40 known strikes in the Eastern Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea, U.S. Southern Command said it targeted alleged drug traffickers along known smuggling routes.

Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations, the Southern Command said in a statement. The command included a video of the strike with its announcement, which shows a boat traveling through the water as it explodes into flames after being hit with what looks like a missile. The Southern Command and the Pentagon did not immediately return requests for additional information.

At the direction of the commander of U.S. Southern Command, Marine Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted three lethal kinetic strikes on three vessels operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations, Southern Command said in the statement, which as has become customary was accompanied by a video showing the boats exploding after being hit by a missile. Intelligence confirmed the vessels were transiting along known narco-trafficking routes and were engaged in narco-trafficking operations, it added.

The US military on Thursday said it killed two people in a strike on a boat suspected of carrying illegal drugs in the eastern Pacific. "Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations," the US Southern Command posted on X. It added that "no US military forces were harmed" in the operation. The statement did not offer any evidence that the boat pictured was actually carrying narcotics before it was blown up in the attack.
