U.S. military strikes suspected drug boat in Caribbean, killing three people

The U.S. military attacked a boat in the Caribbean Sea on Wednesday, killing at least three people. The vessel was from Venezuela and was suspected of carrying drugs.

The strike is part of a wider campaign. Over the past year, the U.S. military has hit 69 boats and killed at least 230 people in total.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the strikes will continue. He argued that other methods of stopping drug trafficking have not worked. He also said the U.S. may work more with allied countries, but will still act alone when necessary.
