U.S. lawmakers are asking questions about a military strike in the Caribbean. This happened in early September. A ship was attacked because it might have carried drugs. It was also linked to a terrorist group.

After the first attack, the ship was damaged. Two people were seen in the water. They were holding onto floating pieces. Sadly, about an hour later, a second strike happened. This second strike killed the two survivors.

Some lawmakers are worried about this. They think the government should show a video of the event. The video reportedly shows the two men without weapons. They were trying to survive.

Democrats are very concerned about the strike. They want the video to be released. They believe people should see what happened. Republicans, however, defend the action. They say it is important for fighting drugs and terrorism.

The U.S. military has conducted many such operations. These operations have unfortunately caused many deaths. The government says these actions are necessary. They are important to stop criminal groups. Now, there is a strong call for more information. People want to understand these military actions better.
