President Donald Trump has confirmed that the United States carried out another naval attack near Venezuelan waters, marking the fifth such operation since September. Six people were killed when a suspected drug vessel was destroyed by a missile strike. The US claims the ship was tied to narcotics smuggling but has yet to provide concrete proof. This latest move has sparked outrage across the region, with Venezuela and Colombia condemning the attacks and legal experts in Washington questioning whether they comply with international law. Critics argue that the Trump administration is using these operations to put further pressure on Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro. As tensions rise and accountability remains uncertain, fears of escalating conflict in the Caribbean are growing.
