U.S. strikes another boat in Caribbean — and there are survivors, official says

The U.S. military struck another boat in the Caribbean Sea on Thursday, and there were survivors aboard the vessel, a U.S. official confirmed to CBS News.

Thursday's strike marks the sixth boat attack in the area since last month — and the first known attack with survivors. The Trump administration hasn't publicly announced Thursday's strike, but prior strikes were launched against alleged drug-carrying vessels.

The number of passengers and survivors is unclear.

Reuters was first to report on the strike.

This is a developing story; it will be updated.
