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.”
