Venezuela War Starting? US Military Captures Ship, Days After Bombing Boat? Maduro Alerts Citizens

Описание: Tensions between Venezuela and the United States spiked as Caracas accused a US Navy destroyer, the USS Jason Dunham (DDG-109), of intercepting and occupying a Venezuelan tuna fishing vessel for eight hours in the nation’s exclusive economic zone. Venezuelan authorities called the seizure of the boat—crewed by nine “humble” fishermen—illegal and hostile, urging Washington to halt operations that “risk the security and peace of the Caribbean.” The US said the search was a counter-narcotics operation, but found no drugs aboard and claims it occurred in international waters. The operation follows a deadly US strike in the Caribbean that killed 11 Venezuelans, an event the Trump administration says targeted a narcoterrorist gang, but for which Venezuela alleges no proof. Caracas continues to call for legal and diplomatic redress, while Washington intensifies naval operations near Venezuelan waters as part of its pressure campaign on President Maduro.
