Two U.S. officials have confirmed to The Associated Press that the U.S. military has carried out a sixth deadly strike on a suspected drug-smuggling vessel in the Caribbean.

The pair were recovered and are allegedly being kept on a Navy warship. They're the first to survive the half dozen US strikes.

The National Hurricane Center currently gives both disturbances a low chance of developing anytime soon. As of 2 p.m. Friday, the disturbance nearest to the Caribbean had no chance of strengthening into a tropical depression or stronger in the next two days and a 30% chance of formation within the next seven days.

Venezuela’s UN Ambassador, Samuel Moncada, accused the U.S. of being "bloodthristy" and urged the Security Council to take action.

The operation is the sixth known attack on alleged drug smugglers in waters off Venezuela, but the first known to have left some people alive.

The U.S. military is holding two survivors aboard a Navy ship after rescuing them from a suspected drug vessel in the Caribbean hit by a U.S. strike that killed two others, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Friday.

The National Hurricane Center is tracking a tropical wave in the central Atlantic which is moving quickly toward the Caribbean. There also is a non-tropical system over the northwestern Atlantic — well away from Florida — that may develop into a tropical or subtropical storm over the next several days, according to AccuWeather.

Venezuela’s ambassador to the U.N. is condemning a recent U.S. strike on a small boat in Caribbean waters that killed six people, calling it “a new set of extrajudicial executions.”
