Alabama Congressman Mike Rogers says he believes a U.S. military strike that killed two survivors off the coast of Venezuela was a legal action. Rogers chairs the House Armed Services Committee.

The Pentagon recently showed him classified video of the December second incident — a second strike on what the military called a drug boat. An aide says the video convinced Rogers the strike followed the law, but he still wants the rest of the committee to see it. A classified briefing is expected next week.

Rogers and other select lawmakers viewed the footage with Admiral Frank Bradley, who ordered the attack. The strike was part of the Trump administration’s anti-drug operation in the Caribbean. The Associated Press reports at least 87 people have been killed in 22 similar missions.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth defends the attacks as actions against “narco-terrorists,” though Congress has never authorized military force for the mission.

The latest strike is drawing scrutiny because the two surviving men, who had lived through an initial attack that killed nine others, may not have posed a threat. The boat was in international waters between Venezuela and Trinidad and Tobago.

The Wall Street Journal reports the men were trying to flip a capsized section of the vessel and even waved at aircraft overhead before a U.S. aircraft fired three Griffin missiles, killing them.
