EDITOR'S NOTE:This story contains some graphic images.

A Washington state man was attacked by a patrol dog while being detained by Customs and Border Patrol agents last month as his wife and young children looked on, said Senator Patty Murray, who is calling for the man's release.

The man, Wilmer Toledo-Martinez, was "violently attacked and dragged away," Murray said.

The senator posted images of Toledo-Martinez and the bloody wounds along his arm, back and side on social media.

The November 14 incident in Vancouver, Washington, occurred as the Trump administration's nationwide crackdown on immigration has led to an escalation in federal agents' tactics on the ground.

Toledo-Martinez, 28, resisted arrest and tried to flee during the encounter with agents, the Department of Homeland Security said in apost on Xin response to Sen. Murray's comments.

He was described by DHS as undocumented and having prior arrests for being in possession of a loaded firearm. His attorney, Olia Catala, said two previous charges were dropped and the other two are going to be dropped soon.

Additionally, Catala says her client was not resisting.

Video of the encounter taken by Toledo-Martinez's wife and provided to CNN by Catala shows the aftermath of the dog attack, when an agent asks the wife to back up or he will be "bit again."

A man wearing a yellow vest can be seen in the video among the agents taking Toledo-Martinez into custody.

It is unclear what led to the dog attack or Toledo-Martinez being detained, and the attack was not caught on camera. There was no warrant for the detainment, Catala said.

Toledo-Martinez, who is originally from Mexico, had just returned home from dropping off his child at school when he heard a knock on the door, according to the attorney. Upon opening the door, he was met by a man wearing a yellow vest who Catala alleges told her client he'd hit Toledo-Martinez's parked car.

He then asked Toledo-Martinez to step out and verify that the affected car belonged to him, according to Catala.

Once outside, the man asked Toledo-Martinez for his name, Catala said. Unaware he was speaking with a federal agent, Toledo-Martinez told the man he was going back inside to get his ID and insurance information, the attorney said.

The next thing he knew, the dog was on top of him and biting him, Catala said.

According to Catala, Toledo-Martinez only knew he was speaking with a federal agent after he was detained.

"We're federal agents from Homeland Security, you understand that?" one agent says in the video.

In the video, the wife is heard asking the agents if her car was hit. "So did you hit my car so I can at least let my insurance know," she asks. One of the agents responds "No" repeatedly, the video shows.

One of the agents says in the video that Toledo-Martinez needs to get medical attention and will be taken to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Portland.

DHS did not respond to specific questions related to the incident, including the allegations made by Catala.

Toledo-Martinez is still experiencing pain where he was bitten and he has not seen a doctor for days, Murray saidin responseto DHS' post on the incident Tuesday. Additionally, his vision is blurry, his arm is numb and he is having difficulty breathing, the senator said Toledo-Martinez's family shared with her.

"I strongly reiterate my call for his immediate release so he can receive the medical care he needs," Murray said in the post. "ICE will not let him see a doctor and are callously dismissing his concerns."

Ukraine says it struck Russian shadow fleet oil tanker in Black Sea

December 10, 2025
An image from video released Wednesday by Ukraine's security service shows a Russian oil tanker that was struck by a Ukrainian sea drone in the Black Sea. - Security Service of Ukraine

Ukraine struck an oil tanker belonging to Russia's so-called shadow fleet in the Black Sea on Wednesday, according to an official in the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).

A Ukrainian security source told CNN that Sea Baby maritime drones were used in a joint operation by the SBU and the navy. It was thethird attack against Russian tankersin two weeks.

Russia has been using hundreds of tankers, flying different flags, to clandestinely ship its oil to customers in defiance of Western sanctions.

The Dashan tanker, which was flying the flag of the Comoro Islands, suffered "critical damage," with preliminary information indicating the ship was "disabled," the source said. There was no immediate comment from Russia.

Video obtained by CNN shows a Sea Baby drone diving under the tanker before a series of explosions in the vessels's stern area. Thick plumes of smoke then engulf the tanker.

It was not immediately clear what cargo the vessel was carrying or whether the strike caused an oil spill.

The ship was traveling at top speed through Ukraine's exclusive economic zone, with its transponder turned off, when it was hit, the SBU source said.

The vessel had been moving toward Russia's Novorossiysk port terminal, a key Russian oil hub, the source added.

The port was hit last month, when Ukraine struck one of Moscow'slargest oil export facilities. The attack, acknowledged by officials from both countries, marked an escalation of Kyiv's efforts to target a key source of Russian war revenue.

"The SBU continues to take active measures to reduce oil dollar revenues to the Russian budget," the source said.

The Ukrainian military operation follows a similar strike ontwo Russian shadow fleet tankersin late November. The SBU said the strike dealt a "significant blow to the transportation of Russian oil."

Trump's assessment disputed

The latest Ukrainian assault followed US President Donald Trump claim Tuesday that Moscow has the "upper hand" in its ongoinginvasion of Ukraineand that Kyiv is "losing" the war.

Multiple Ukrainian and European officials have disputed Trump's claims, although Ukraine's position is acknowledged to be challenging. There are no new US or European assessments to suggest there have been significant changes on the battlefield that indicate Russian President Vladimir Putin's forces will triumph anytime soon, the officials told CNN.

Meanwhile, talks over a US-proposed peace deal between Ukraine and Russia are continuing but have not achieved a breakthrough.

US and Ukrainian delegations met virtually Wednesday to discuss plans for the reconstruction and economic development of Ukraine after the war with Russia ends, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a post on X.

The US delegation included Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent; Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner; and Larry Fink, chairman and CEO of BlackRock, according to the Ukrainian leader.

"We discussed key elements for recovery, various mechanisms and visions for reconstruction. There are many ideas that, with the right approach, could succeed in Ukraine," Zelensky said.

The Ukrainians also "updated our reflections on the 20 points of the framework document for ending the war," he said. Zelensky thanked Trump and his team "for their substantive work and support."

Parent of student charged in shooting that killed teen at Kentucky State University

Parent of student charged in shooting that killed teen at Kentucky State University

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — A parent of a Kentucky State University student has been charged with murder in an on campus shooting that killed one student and critically injured another.

Jacob Lee Bard was at the school's campus in Frankfort on Tuesday and fired shots at the victims at a residence hall, police said in a statement.

Investigators said the shooting was isolated, but they have not publicly shared details of the circumstances or a possible motive. The shooting killed 19-year-old De'Jon Fox of Indianapolis. A second student who was shot remains in critical condition, but his name has not been released, police said.

Bard, 48, was booked into jail on murder and first-degree assault charges. Police said Bard is from Evansville, Indiana, which is about 150 miles (241 kilometers) west of Frankfort.

Bard is being represented by a public defender at the Franklin County Department of Public Advocacy, which declined to talk about his case Wednesday.

University police officers were near the scene of the altercation that ended with the shooting and immediately arrested Bard, police said.

Investigators have watched video taken by others at the scene and surveillance footage.

Asked by reporters about alleged videos showing a fight involving Bard's sons preceded the shooting or whether Bard might have come to campus to talk to administrators about his sons' safety, Frankfort Assistant Police Chief Scott Tracy refused to say what may have led to the shooting.

"It's really too early in the investigation right now to really give any details that led up to it. A lot of it would be speculation," Tracy said Wednesday.

The shooting happened at Whitney M. Young Jr. Hall. It was the second shooting in four months near the student residence.

Someone fired multiple shots from a vehicle on Aug. 17, striking two people that the university said weren't students. Frankfort police said one victim was treated for minor injuries and a second sustained serious injuries. The dorm and at least one vehicle were damaged by gunfire.

University President Koffi C. Akakpo said the school brought in more police officers after the first shooting and will evaluate whether more needs to be done to keep students safe once the investigation into the latest shooting is complete,

"The campus is a safe place," Akakpo said at the news conference.

Kentucky State is a public historically Black university with about 2,200 students. Lawmakers authorized the school's creation in 1886.

The school sits about 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) east of the Capitol building in Frankfort.

Veteran outfielder Mike Yastrzemski signs a 2-year deal with the Braves

ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Braves signed veteran outfielder Mike Yastrzemski to a two-year deal on Wednesday that includes a club option for 2028.

The 35-year-old Yastrzemski hit .233 with 17 home runs and 46 RBIs in 146 games last year between San Francisco and Kansas City.

Yastrzemski, who spent the first six-plus seasons of his career with the Giants before being sent to the Royals in July, will make $9 million in 2026 and $10 million in 2027. Atlanta holds a club option for 2028. Yastrzemski will make $7 million if the Braves pick up the option. He will receive a $4 million buyout if they do not.

The versatile Yastrzemski, the grandson of Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski, can play all three outfield positions and is a career .238 hitter. His best season came in the COVID-19-shortened 2020 campaign, when he batted .297 with 10 homers in 54 games and finished in the top 10 in NL MVP voting.

Kylian Mbappé an unused substitute in Real Madrid's loss to Man City in the Champions League

Kylian Mbappé an unused substitute in Real Madrid's loss to Man City in the Champions League

MADRID (AP) —Kylian Mbappéwas an unused substitute in Real Madrid's2-1 lossto Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Mbappé, who has scored 25 goals for Madrid this season, was left out of Madrid's starting lineup and stayed on the bench following reports of a minor knee injury.

Madrid coach Xabi Alonso said it was too early to know whether the player will be able to play Sunday at Alaves in the Spanish league.

"We'll go day-by-day," he said after the match. "Today he wasn't fit to play, otherwise he would've played. We miss him, but we had enough scoring opportunities without him."

The forward was among those complaining from the Madrid bench when City scored a first-half equalizer. Mbappé talked to the fourth official, pointing to a possible foul on Madrid defender Antonio Rüdiger during the corner-kick cross into the area.

The visitors won 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, increasingpressure on coach Xabi Alonso.

Madrid has won only just two of its last eight games in all competitions and fell to a 2-0 home loss to Celta Vigo in the Spanish league on Sunday.

Mbappé nursed a right ankle injury that kept him out of France's squad last month, and most recently he fractured a finger in his left hand. The France striker trained separately from his teammates on Tuesday.

Mbappé has been in outstanding form this season and had scored seven goals in his previous three games before ending that streak against Celta. He is the leading scorer in both the Champions League and the Spanish league.

Gonzalo García was named at the point of Madrid's attack on Wednesday. He was replaced by Arda Güler in the 58th minute. The other Madrid players to come on were Brahim Díaz, replacing Dani Ceballos in the 67th, and Endrick for Raúl Asencio in the 79th.

Mbappé didn't even warm up with the rest of the substitutes during the game.

Trump says the US has seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela

Trump says the US has seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela

WASHINGTON (AP) — PresidentDonald Trumpsaid Wednesday that the United States has seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela astensions mountwith the government of President Nicolás Maduro.

Using U.S. forces to take control of a merchant ship is incredibly unusual and marks the Trump administration's latest push to increase pressure on Maduro, who has beencharged with narcoterrorismin the United States. The U.S. has built up the largest military presence in the region in decades and launched a series ofdeadly strikes on alleged drug-smuggling boatsin the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean. The campaign is facing growing scrutiny from Congress.

"We've just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela, a large tanker, very large, largest one ever seized, actually," Trump told reporters at the White House, later adding that "it was seized for a very good reason."

Trump did not offer additional details. When asked what would happen to the oil aboard the tanker, Trump said, "Well, we keep it, I guess."

The seizure was led by the U.S. Coast Guard and supported by the Navy, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity. The official added that it was conducted under U.S. law enforcement authority.

Storming the oil tanker

The Coast Guard members were taken to the oil tanker by helicopter from the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford, the official said. The Ford is in the Caribbean Sea after arriving last month in a major show of force, joining a fleet of other warships.

Video posted to social mediaby Attorney General Pam Bondi shows people fast-roping from one of the helicopters involved in the operation as it hovers just feet from the deck.

The Coast Guard members can be seen later in the video moving throughout the superstructure of the ship with their weapons drawn.

Bondi wrote that "for multiple years, the oil tanker has been sanctioned by the United States due to its involvement in an illicit oil shipping network supporting foreign terrorist organizations."

Venezuela's government said in a statement that the seizure "constitutes a blatant theft and an act of international piracy."

"Under these circumstances, the true reasons for the prolonged aggression against Venezuela have finally been revealed. … It has always been about our natural resources, our oil, our energy, the resources that belong exclusively to the Venezuelan people," the statement said.

Half of ship's oil is tied to Cuban importer

The U.S. official identified the seized tanker as the Skipper.

The ship departed Venezuela around Dec. 2 with about 2 million barrels of heavy crude, roughly half of it belonging to a Cuban state-run oil importer, according to documents from the state-owned company Petróleos de Venezuela S.A., commonly known as PDVSA, that were provided on the condition of anonymity because the person did not have permission to share them.

The Skipper was previously known as the M/T Adisa, according to ship tracking data. The Adisa was sanctioned by the U.S. in 2022 over accusations of belonging to a sophisticated network of shadow tankers that smuggled crude oil on behalf of Iran's Revolutionary Guard and Lebanon's Hezbollah militant group.

The network was reportedly run by a Switzerland-based Ukrainian oil trader, the U.S. Treasury Department said at the time.

Hitting Venezuela's sanctioned oil business

Venezuela has the world's largest proven oil reserves and produces about 1 million barrels a day.

PDVSA is the backbone of the country's economy. Its reliance on intermediaries increased in 2020, when the first Trump administration expanded its maximum-pressure campaign on Venezuela with sanctions that threaten to lock out of the U.S. economy any individual or company that does business with Maduro's government. Longtime allies Russia and Iran, both also sanctioned, have helped Venezuela skirt restrictions.

The transactions usually involve a complex network of shadowy intermediaries. Many are shell companies, registered in jurisdictions known for secrecy. The buyers deploy so-called ghost tankers that hide their location and hand off their valuable cargoes in the middle of the ocean before they reach their final destination.

Maduro did not address the seizure during a speech before a ruling-party organized demonstration in Caracas, Venezuela's capital. But he told supporters that the country is "prepared to break the teeth of the North American empire if necessary."

Maduro has insisted the real purpose of the U.S. military operations is to force him from office.

Democrat says the move is about 'regime change'

Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said the U.S. seizing the oil tanker cast doubt on the administration's stated reasons for the military buildup and boat strikes.

"This shows that their whole cover story — that this is about interdicting drugs — is a big lie," the senator said. "This is just one more piece of evidence that this is really about regime change — by force."

Vincent P. O'Hara, a naval historian and author of "The Greatest Naval War Ever Fought," called the seizure "very unusual" and "provocative." "As far as the principle of seizing ships on the high sea, that's an important international question," he said. "Nations go to war over that principle."

The seizure comes a day after the U.S. militaryflew a pair of fighter jetsover the Gulf of Venezuela in what appeared to be the closest that warplanes had come to the South American country's airspace. Trump has saidland attacks are coming soonbut has not offered more details.

The Trump administration is facingincreasing scrutiny from lawmakersover the boat strike campaign, which has killed at least 87 people in22 known strikessince early September, includinga follow-up strike that killed two survivorsclinging to the wreckage of a boat after the first hit.

Some legal experts and Democrats saythat action may have violated the laws governing the use of deadly military force.

Lawmakers aredemanding to get unedited videofrom the strikes, but Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told congressional leaders at a classified briefing Tuesday that he was still weighing whether to release it.

The Coast Guard referred a request for comment about the tanker seizure to the White House.

Goodman reported from Miami, and Garcia Cano from Caracas, Venezuela. Associated Press writers Lisa Mascaro and Alanna Durkin Richer in Washington, Rebecca Boone in Boise, Idaho, and Susan Haigh in Hartford, Connecticut, contributed to this report.
