WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military said it attacked a boat suspected of being used to smuggle drugs in the Caribbean Sea on Sunday, killing four people, as the Trump administration continues its yearlong campaign against alleged traffickers in Latin America.
The latest attack brings the number of people who have been killed in boat strikes by the U.S. military to at least 235 in 70 strikes since the Trump administration began targeting those it calls "narcoterrorists" in September 2025. As with most of the military's statements on strikes in the eastern Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea, U.S. Southern Command said it targeted the alleged drug traffickers along known smuggling routes.
The military did not provide evidence that the vessel was ferrying drugs. A video posted on X showed what appeared to be an explosion destroying a moving boat, which the military said was a go-fast vessel.
The Trump administration is pursuing deals with allied nations to extend its offensive to land across multiple Latin American countries. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said during a visit to Panama in August that Colombia, Guatemala and Honduras had agreed to allow the U.S. to carry out joint military operations against criminal groups on their soil. Guatemala denied reaching such a deal. Ecuador launched similar missions with the U.S. in March.
President Donald Trump has said the U.S. is in "armed conflict" with cartels in Latin America and has justified the attacks as a necessary escalation to stem the flow of drugs into the United States and fatal overdoses claiming American lives. But his administration has offered little evidence to support its claims of killing smugglers.

AMS acquisition extends Korn Ferry's existing growth trajectory, which was highlighted in the company's recently announced first quarter results. It was the sixth back-to-back quarter of topline growth, which augments the durability of Korn Ferry's fundamental business model. The company also delivered a 9% growth in its adjusted diluted EPS of $1.43, relative to the same period last year.
The AMS deal results in several strategic benefits for Korn Ferry. Based on its long-standing client relationships, AMS offers robust operational strength, along with prospects of consistent, recurring income. Such relationships also enable the company to deliver technology-led solutions at scale.
Financing of this transaction involved a mix of existing cash, share issuance and borrowings. At closing, Korn Ferry paid approximately £473 million and $326 million in cash, covering consideration to the sellers, repayment of AMS indebtedness and other transaction obligations, and issued 3,118,628 Korn Ferry shares to the sellers.

Philippine authorities said it could take weeks or months to identify victims of a ferry fire that killed 76 people last week.
"Most of them are already in a charred condition," Richard Allan Mangalip, a forensic specialist from the Philippine National Police, told reporters on Sunday. Family members have been asked to help identify victims with personal items or DNA samples.
The MV June Aster was heading from Manila to Coron in Palawan province, a popular holiday destination, when a fire started in its cargo hold and spread rapidly throughout the vessel.
Forty-three people survived the disaster, while 13 people remain unaccounted for, authorities said.
Mangalip said they were "trying [their] best to collect the possible identifying marks" from victims' remains.

Big Tigger won't be being prosecuted on aggravated battery and third-degree child cruelty charges, ending the criminal case involving his wife, Alicia Brown.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the Fulton County District Attorney's Office has decided not to move forward with charges against Tigger, whose legal name is Darian Morgan.
The charges traced back to a May 9 incident at the couple's Sandy Springs home on Jett Ferry Road. According to the arrest affidavit, a dispute over text messages between Morgan and a female co-worker escalated over the course of several weeks before turning physical.
Brown alleged that Morgan tackled her to the floor during an argument and later grabbed her arms and shoved her toward an exit, causing her to stumble headfirst into an office door and suffer a deep cut above her left eye.

TRUMBULL - Finn Kilmartin and Will Zaccagnino were in the eighth grade when they found out they'd both be heading to St. Joseph for their high school years.
Since that time, they've become massive parts of the Hogs' football team, Kilmartin as a linebacker and sometimes running back, and Zaccagnino as a disruptive lineman wreaking havoc on both sides of the ball.
When Kilmartin sees the 6-foot-5, 275-pound Zaccagnino make a big play, he's not just celebrating with a friend or a teammate.
He's celebrating with his godfather.
Kilmartin converted to Catholicism with guidance from Father Ferry Galbert, the school's former chaplain, during his sophomore year and received the Sacraments all at once, with baptism, confirmation and communion at the Easter Vigil in 2025.

Katie Price has sparked fresh questions about her marriage to Lee Andrews after stepping out in Marbella without her wedding ring. Price instead spent the getaway partying with Chloe Ferry and close friend Ryan Mira.
According to Metro, Price joined Ferry and friends for a lively Marbella party. During the night out, Price wore a revealing silver minidress. More noticeably, her wedding ring did not appear on her hand.
Meanwhile, footage reportedly shared by Ryan Mira showed him dancing with Price. At one point, he lifted her into the air and spun her around. The sighting marked another occasion when Price was seen without her wedding ring. Just days earlier, she wore the ring while performing at Manchester Pride.
However, this is not the first time Price has removed it. In June, she returned from Dubai without her wedding ring amid questions about her marriage. Since then, Lee Andrews and Price have continued to attract speculation. The couple reunited in Dubai after an earlier period of uncertainty.
More recently, Price reportedly explored her legal options as questions about the relationship continued. At the same time, she announced a new live podcast tour. Still, Price has not publicly confirmed that her marriage is over. Therefore, the missing ring alone does not establish a split.

All aboard! Pete Davidson and Colin Jost are opening the Staten Island Ferry.
The pair famously won the bid and purchased the decommissioned John F. Kennedy Staten Island Ferry at auction for $280,000 in 2022. Davidson and Jost have held several events on the ship, such as Tommy Hilfiger's 2025 New York Fashion Week show. The ferry is getting ready for one of its biggest nights ever; this fall it will host a one-night-only comedy event.
The former Saturday Night Live co-stars are working with Snapple to put on the Snapple Island Ferry. It will be hosted by Davidson and Jost, and produced by The Stand Group, which is a part owner of the ferry. The Sept. 17 event will be "a one-day-only, free comedy club built to give New Yorkers an unexpectedly refreshing break from the daily grind," according to Snapple.

There will be a limited number of free tickets available, with a set amount dropped daily at 3 p.m. ET from Sept. 3 to Sept. 8. Fans can apply for tickets at register.snappleislandferry.com but are limited to one pair per person. The show is for those 21 years or older.

One of my favorite pop culture topics to keep up with is Pete Davidson and Colin Jost's Staten Island Ferry. Despite all the jokes about the ferry, the comedians do have plans for the boat, and they're about to hold an event on it. However, putting the jokes back into the equation, it's not shocking to me at all that Davidson gave a funny statement about the upcoming ferry gig.
To quote Saturday Night Live's Stefon, "New York's hottest club" could be the comedy club Snapple is creating on Davidson and Jost's Staten Island Ferry. On September 17, the juice company is going to transform the comedians' "famously random John F. Kennedy Staten Island Ferry purchase into the Sapple Island Ferry," which will be a free comedy club. In reaction to all this, the King of Staten Island star said:
Turning the ferry into a floating comedy club with Snapple makes more sense than anything else we considered, and it still doesn't make much sense. Either way, we're giving people a chance to take a break, have a laugh, and do something completely ridiculous with us.

KYRENIA, Cyprus, Aug 31 (Reuters) - Ayten Bicer felt her 12-year-old daughter slip from her hands and disappear as a ferry capsized off northern Cyprus on Sunday, killing at least eight people.
Her daughter Miray, and 6-year-old son Mehmet Asaf, ‌were among 20 people still missing on Monday as search teams looked for survivors in waters more than 500 metres (1,640 feet) ‌deep.
"She was saying, 'Don't let go'. And I didn't let go of my daughter. I swear, I didn't let her go," Ayten Bicer sobbed.
A suitcase fell on top of her, forcing the girl from her grasp. The mother caught hold of the daughter's foot, but her shoes, coated in engine oil from the overturned vessel, slipped through her hands.

NICOSIA, Aug 30 (Reuters) - At least eight people died and 18 were missing after a ferry carrying around 270 passengers and crew capsized off North Cyprus on Sunday, leaving survivors clinging to its overturned hull.
The privately owned ferry left the ‌port of Kyrenia at 12:30 p.m. local time (0930 GMT) and immediately started taking on water for an unknown reason, authorities ‌said. It was heading for the Turkish port of Tasucu in the eastern Mediterranean.
Survivors reported the ferry moving erratically, with its last hard impact with the water's surface breaking the bow of the two-hulled vessel, allowing water to seep in. The boat was carrying 267 people, including a crew of eight, while 241 people were rescued.
The disaster occurred just off the coast of Kyrenia, a popular holiday resort for both locals and tourists. The ferry was one of several shuttle sea services that link North Cyprus, a breakaway unrecognised Turkish Cypriot state, with Turkey daily.
The incident has sent shockwaves through the territory. Hours after ‌the incident relatives remained outside a local hospital ⁠and the port gates in Kyrenia, waiting for news of their loved ones. Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhurman said he was "deeply saddened" by the incident.

I'm sure you've seen the in-game ads for the Ballpark Bites Bracket, where one "signature" concession item from each ballpark is being pitted against others from both the Major and Minor Leagues for supremacy. From Coors Field, the Glizzilla is up against the Galactic Glizzy, offered by the Sugar Land ******* e Cowboys (Triple-A Astros).
Other bites featured are the Take Me Out to the Ballgame Shake from Chase Field (AZ), the Ferry Boat Crab Nachos from T-Mobile Park (SEA) and the Lobstah Poutine from Fenway (BOS). It does not, however, feature the Gilroy Garlic Fries from Oracle Park (SF), which is a shame.
So this brings me to three questions:
Of the choices on the bracket, which one(s) have you tried?
Of the choices on the bracket, which one is the winner?

A "near miss" between a passenger ship and a cruise ship tender took place last weekend, Guernsey Ports has said.
Harbour master James Way said a tender had departed despite red signals being in place on Sunday at about 17:00 BST.
Tender 14 from the cruise ship AIDAsol crossed in front of the San Pawl ferry, which carries up to 310 foot passengers between Guernsey and Jersey.
Way said while the boats had passed each other "at relatively close range", there had been "no immediate danger or impact on passenger or vessel safety" and the incident has been discussed with the cruise operator.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Hundreds of people have been killed in the year since the U.S. military began bombing boats it accused of ferrying drugs off Latin America's Caribbean and Pacific coasts. Now, the Trump administration says it is seeking to extend that lethal campaign to land, pursuing deals that would put U.S. forces on the ground in allied nations across the region.
President Donald Trump's defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, announced last week during a visit to Panama that Colombia, Guatemala and Honduras had agreed to allow the U.S. to carry out joint military operations against criminal groups on their soil, following Ecuador, which launched similar missions with the U.S. in March. Guatemala, however, has denied reaching such an agreement.
It will be "like you saw with the strikes on the drug boats," Hegseth said during a military drill in the jungle in Panama. "Same effect on land. And so we're working with Ecuador. We're working with Colombia. We're working with partners to bring the fight to the (designated terrorist organizations) on land."
The expansion marks a new phase in the Trump administration's campaign to pressure governments across Latin America to align with its security priorities and ******* ert what it calls "American dominance over the Western Hemisphere."
Voters across the region are increasingly embracing Trump-aligned leaders, giving Washington more willing partners. But critics warn that the widening U.S. military campaign risks civilian casualties and a backlash against the U.S. that could outlast the Republican administration.

Frankie Harris shot 59 in the final round of the Korn Ferry Tour's Pinnacle Bank Championship, and it only got him into a playoff.
He won, however, on the second extra hole, defeating a gallant Alistair Docherty.
Harris shot 12-under 59 – the second such number in as many weeks on the secondary circuit – to post 22 under at The Club at Indian Creek in Omaha, Nebraska.
Docherty then matched him by closing in 7-under 28, making birdie on his final four holes. He shot 64 to force sudden death.
After a pair of pars to open, Harris made par on the second hole while Docherty made bogey.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Frankie Harris made an 18-foot birdie putt on the final hole for a 12-under 59 and won the Pinnacle Bank Championship on Sunday with a par on second playoff hole for his first Korn Ferry Tour ****** le in only his sixth start this year.
Harris shot 27 on the back nine of The Club at Indian Creek by making just over 153 feet of putts. Alistair Docherty birdied his last four holes, including a 53-foot putt on the 16th, for a 64 to force a playoff at 22-under 262.
On the 18th for the second playoff hole, Docherty went long of the green, chipped to 6 feet and missed the par putt.
Harris became the fourth player in the last six weeks with a 59. He became the ninth player worldwide to have a sub-60 final round and win the tournament.
Harris, who ended his college career at South Carolina, finished at No. 9 in the PGA Tour University ranking. That gave him conditional status on the Korn Ferry Tour and full status on the PGA Tour Americas.

SOUTH OGDEN — Perhaps the person most surprised that Derek Hitchner won the Korn Ferry Tour's Utah Championship on Sunday at Ogden Golf & Country Club was Hitchner himself.
"I've been floundering all year," the 26-year-old from Minnesota said on the 18th green after winning a five-way playoff on the first playoff hole with a 6-foot birdie putt. "This is kind of a surprise, and a huge blessing."
It was the first tournament win as a professional for Hitchner, a Pepperdine graduate who turned pro in 2023.
"This is as good as it gets," he said.
The five-man playoff tied for the largest playoff field in Korn Ferry Tour history. After Hitchner and four others — Tommy Morrison, Cole Hammer, Mason Anderson and Travis Trace — tied at 21-under through 72 holes in blistering hot conditions in South Ogden, the fivesome headed out to the 18th tee in the sudden-death playoff.

GEORGETOWN, July 28 (Reuters) - The captain and two crew members of a passenger ferry in Guyana that ‌capsized were charged with murder on Tuesday, more than a ‌week after the disaster killed 73 people and left 30 others still missing.
The MV Barima, an 87-year-old ship, sank on July 18 while traveling from the capital, Georgetown, to the northwestern village of Port Kaituma.
Captain Kevin Price, 40, and crew members Rondell Dwayne Roberts, 42, and Delon Granderson, ‌33, appeared before a ⁠Georgetown court on murder charges, police said.
They were not required to enter pleas, and Reuters could not immediately ⁠contact the defendants or their representatives for comment.

The PGA Tour's annual Korn Ferry Tour stop in Berthoud has a first-time professional golf winner in 2026.
Ross Steelman held his 54-hole lead, firing a steely final-round 68 to take the Blue Championship ****** le at Berthoud's TPC Colorado golf course on July 12.
This was the 25-year-old's first-ever win on the Korn Ferry Tour and a neat redemption arc of sorts.
Steelman led this same tournament by three shots heading into last year's final round but shot a 3-over-par 75 to fall well short of eventual winner Neal Shipley.
His nerves held up far better this time around on a scorching summer Sunday in Northern Colorado.

Here are all of the Yankees' picks from the 2026 MLB Draft...
The Arkansas southpaw made 20 appearances in three seasons with the Razorbacks but dealt with some injuries before undergoing elbow surgery in 2024.
Dietz bounced back to make 16 starts in 2026, pitching to a 3.57 ERA and 1.191 WHIP over 85.2 innings, allowing 40 runs (34 earned) on 71 hits and 31 walks with 131 strikeouts. His 13.8 strikeouts per nine innings had him in the Top 10 in all of collegiate baseball.
The 6-foot-3 southpaw was drafted by the Yankees after spending time in Ferry Fox (BC) up in Canada. Duncan was highly-touted before suffering an elbow injury that would require Tommy John surgery in 2025. He pitched in the Futures Showcase, where his heater sat at 93 mph but touched 95.
Duncan has committed to Vanderbilt.

If the 17-year-old from Jacksonville Beach keeps stacking good finishes ― Russell made the cut in the U.S. Open and the Puerto Rico Open and tied for 15th in the Korn Ferry Tour Club Car Championship for his highest finish in 13 professional starts ― will he ever get to Florida State, where he's scheduled to enroll in the fall of 2027?
However, there are yet to be any signs of impatience on his part to fast-track his career to professional golf.
At a news conference on July 8 after playing in the pro-am, Russell talked more about learning from the example of the players in his group for the first two rounds, Jackson Koivun (who played three years at Auburn) and Ben James (four years at Virginia).

It is not often you hear a Wimbledon crowd loudly imitate a ferry horn.
But the emergence of British wildcard Arthur Fery, whose surname lends itself to a range of nautical-inspired puns, has led to one of the more unusual chants at the All England Club.
"All aboard the Fery!" was a regular shout of support when the 23-year-old sunk Belgium's Zizou Bergs in a ******* anic five-set battle.
It was followed, naturally, by an elongated bellow.
As Fery approaches the biggest match of his career - facing Grigor Dimitrov on Centre Court in the fourth round - the world number 114 is hoping for more enthusiastic British support.

Ryan Armour has seen plenty of competition the past two years. It just hasn't been him out there.
A quick scroll through Armour's participation in both PGA Tour and Korn Ferry events shows a total of 21 tournaments in 2024 and 2025 combined. He's made less than half of his cuts in that time and generally operated outside of the consciousness of the sport.
With his 50th birthday approaching, and the opportunity to begin competing on the senior circuit, Armour, who lives in Jupiter, Florida, took the opportunity to spend extended time with his family. For two years, that meant watching his eldest son, Patrick, play high school basketball and his youngest son, Nick, play hockey.
Along the way, his golf game admittedly suffered – and that's a tradeoff Armour said he's fine with making.
"I was at every sporting event for both of my boys, all over the country with them," he said after finishing the U.S. Senior Open at Scioto Country Club tied for 26th place at 2 over on July 5. "It was great. I loved every second of it. It doesn't equate to good golf, but it equates to a good fatherhood, good family and a lot of fun with your kids."
