00:00The U.S. military says it carried out strikes against two alleged drug-trafficking boats in the Eastern Pacific on Thursday, killing five people.
00:09The attack marks the third such strike this week, bringing the total death toll from U.S. strikes to at least 104 people.
00:17U.S. strikes killed eight people on three boats on Monday, followed by another strike that killed four others on a single vessel on Wednesday.
00:24Thursday's attack came hours after the U.S. House of Representatives rejected resolutions that would have required the Trump administration to seek congressional approval before continuing strikes against alleged drug boats.
00:37President Donald Trump said he has no problem informing Congress about a possible attack on Venezuela as U.S. military operations intensify following a major U.S. military deployment to Latin America.
00:48Meanwhile, at Venezuela's request, the United Nations Security Council will hold an emergency meeting on Tuesday to discuss the situation.
