US Military Strike on Venezuelan Drug Boat Kills 11: Trump
Washington: The US Army claimed that he had killed 11 people on a strike from Venezuela on Tuesday, President Donald Trump said in the first operation since his administration has recently deployed warships to the southern Caribbean.
“During the last few minutes, Trump said to the journalists in the White House:” We literally took a boat, a boat carrying drugs, a lot of medicines on that boat. “
Trump, “And there is more than where it comes from. We have a lot of drugs entering our country for a long time … These came out of Venezuela.” He said.
Later, he shared a video on a real social platform that explodes a Speedboat at sea and then shows images from the top drones on fire.
“The strike caused 11 terrorists to be killed in action. No US force was damaged in this strike.” He said.
The crew of the US army added that the Venezuela gang train, which was set by a terrorist group in February, described it as members of Aragua. The train reiterated the allegations that Aragua was controlled by President Nicolas Maduro.
The Ministry of Venezuela did not respond immediately to the request for comments.
The Pentagon did not publish details about the attack, including which types of drugs were on board, how the quantity or strike is performed.
Instead of seizing the ship and capturing the crew, the decision to blow up a suspicious drug ship through the Caribbean evokes the memories of the US’s struggle against militant groups such as al -Qaeda.
The United States used warships in the Southern Caribbean to promise Trump’s drug cartels in recent weeks.
The strike on Tuesday seemed to be the first military operation in the region.
The seven US warships are expected to be in the region or soon with a nuclear -energy rapid attack submarine and carry more than 4,500 sailors and sailors.
While the US Coast Guard and Navy ships operate regularly in the South Caribbean, the current accumulation exceeds the usual deployment in the region.
There are warships in the Navy, including USS San Antonio, USS Iwo Jima and USS Fort Lauderdale. Some can carry air assets like helicopters, while others can use Tomahawk Cruise missiles.
US officials said the US army has blown P-8 spy planes in the region to collect intelligence. They fly on international waters.
“These special drugs probably turned to Trinidad or another country in the Caribbean,” he said, “
He continued: “The President will be a crime against drug cartels and drug smuggling in the United States.”
Trump’s singing from Maduro alarm in Karakas that their governments could be a real target.
Last month, the United States doubled the prize for the arrest of Maduro and accused him of drug smuggling and connections with criminal groups.
Venezuela officials said that the train was no longer active in their countries after Aragua was dismantled during a prison raid in 2023.
