CABRERA: Just in. The nation's top military officials says the Pentagon is focused on finding a diplomatic solution to the North Korean nuclear threat. Even as President Trump insists the military is locked and loaded. Joint chiefs, chairman, General Joseph Dunford is in South Korea and said quote "as the military leader, I have to make sure that the President does have viable military options in the event that the diplomatic and economic pressurization campaign fails. Even as we develop those options we are mindful of the consequences of executing those options and that makes us have more of a sense of urgency to make sure we are doing everything we absolutely can to support secretary Tillerson's current path." And some sad news tonight, on an already devastating news day, the U.S. military confirming two soldiers were killed and five were hurt during the fight against ISIS in Iraq. No official word yet if this was the result of enemy contact. The military is still investigating. The commander of the combined joint task force releasing this statement earlier. Our deepest condolences to these heroes' families, friends and teammates. I hope there is some small solace in knowing their loss has meaning for our country. The fallen service members were fighting to defeat a truly evil enemy and to protect our homeland. Our thoughts are with those soldiers and their families tonight. That's going do it for me. I'm Ana Cabrera in New York. Thanks for spending part of your weekend with us. We really appreciate it. CNN's the 90s starts right now.
