The pace of the strikes slowed somewhat after Jan. 3, when U.S. forces captured Venezuelan President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro. Monday&#8217;s boat strike is the third known strike since then.<\/p>\n<p>In at least five instances, people have survived the operations, spurring efforts to find and rescue them in most cases.

During the first boat strike on Sept. 2, two people <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/military-strikes-boat-caribbean-survivors\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">survived an initial strike but were killed in a follow-on attack<\/a><\/span>, prompting accusations the second strike may have constituted a war crime.

The Defense Department and several congressional Republicans have insisted the survivors may have still been in the fight, warranting the follow-on strike.<\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration has said the strikes are necessary to combat narcotics trafficking. It has labeled the alleged seaborne drug smugglers as &#8220;unlawful combatants,&#8221; and <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-tells-congress-armed-conflict-drug-cartels-venezuela-boat-strikes\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">told Congress<\/a><\/span> the U.S. is embroiled in a &#8220;non-international armed conflict&#8221; with cartels.<\/p>\n<p>Most Democratic lawmakers have criticized the strikes, arguing the administration hasn&#8217;t provided enough evidence that the boats were trafficking drugs to the U.S. and has failed to get authorization from Congress for the military campaign. Several efforts by congressional Democrats to <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/senate-war-powers-trump-venezuela-boat-strikes\/\"
