LAS CUEVAS: Venezuela’s ambassador to the UN, Samuel Moncada, condemned on Thursday a recent US strike on a small boat in Caribbean waters that killed six people, calling it “a new set of extrajudicial executions.” He called on the UN Security Council to investigate what he called a “series of assassinations,” noting there have been five lethal attacks and 27 reported deaths since the strikes in the Caribbean began in September, targeting what US officials say are suspected drug traffickers.

President Trump said the vessel belonged to "narcoterrorists" and that it was "trafficking narcotics." US officials have not provided evidence to this claim.
