The U.S. military says it carried out another strike on a vessel accused of smuggling drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean. Friday's attack was the third this week, killing three men and pushing the overall death toll above 200 people. U.S. Southern Command announced the latest strike in the monthslong campaign against alleged drug boats traversing the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific with its usual language that the vessel was “engaged in narco-trafficking operations.” It provided no evidence. The Trump administration has declared that the U.S. is at armed conflict with Latin American drug cartels.

Israeli troops have entered a southern Lebanese village, pushing deeper into the country amid ongoing conflict. On Friday, Lebanese and Israeli military officials began direct talks at the Pentagon for the first time in decades. A nominal ceasefire went into effect on April 17, but hostilities continue. Lebanese officials seek comprehensive implementation of the ceasefire and a stop to ongoing violence. Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes have killed at least six people. The violence comes as U.S. and Iranian negotiators reached a tentative agreement to extend their ceasefire by 60 days. Iran has not confirmed the deal.

U.S. President Donald Trump met with his advisers for about two hours but has not yet made a decision on whether to move forward with a deal to extend the Iran ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iran said the agreement has not been finalized. Ahead of Friday's meeting, Trump said he was looking to make a “final determination.” A senior administration official later said the roughly two-hour meeting with national security aides had concluded without a decision. The official wasn’t authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Romanian authorities say a Russian drone that was part of an overnight attack on Ukraine crashed into an apartment building in eastern Romania. Two people had minor injuries and several were evacuated. The Defense Ministry said Friday the drone was tracked by radar in Romanian airspace and crashed onto the roof of a building in Galati. Russia has been using long-range ballistic missiles and drones to damage Ukraine’s power grid and hammer cities, and Ukraine has braced for further heavy bombardments. Romania's Foreign Ministry said the country is asking NATO for a faster transfer of anti-drone capabilities to its military.
