U.S. Strikes Venezuelan Boat in Latest Counter-Drug Operation

The U.S. carried out an airstrike against a boat allegedly linked to Venezuelan drug trafficking on September 15, killing three people, according to statements from the Trump administration. The vessel was accused of transporting illicit narcotics, although detailed evidence has not been publicly released. This is the second boat targeted in recent operations as the U.S. intensifies efforts to disrupt regional drug networks. Critics call for transparency over the legal basis and intelligence underpinning the strikes. The move underscores the administration’s aggressive posture toward drug interdiction, especially in maritime domains near Venezuela. Diplomats and legal experts are watching for both foreign reaction and implications for international law.
