The U.S. launched another strike on a boat allegedly carrying drugs in the Caribbean on Thursday. A U.S. official tells Reuters it’s the first time there are survivors of the attack. Since September, the U.S. has reportedly killed 27 people in attacks against suspected drug boats off the coast of Venezuela.

This comes as Venezuela has requested the U.N. Security Council to declare that the U.S. strikes are illegal, calling on the body to back Venezuela’s sovereignty. Here’s Venezuelan Ambassador to the United Nations Samuel Moncada.

Samuel Moncada: “What do we ask of the Security Council? First, that it investigates the series of murders that the government of the United States of America has been perpetrating in our region, and determines their illegal nature. Second, to confirm the threat that these illicit actions pose to the preservation of peace in Latin America and the Caribbean.”
