US Military Strike on Suspected Venezuelan Drug Boat Turns Back Before Incident

An alleged drug-smuggling boat from Venezuela was reportedly turning back when it was hit by the U.S. military, which claimed the vessel was operated by the Tren de Aragua gang. Venezuelan officials denied casualties from the strike, and the U.S. justified the action as part of its efforts to combat drug trafficking, asserting it acted within constitutional authority. The incident highlights ongoing tensions and U.S. efforts to curb drug trafficking in the region.
