The Department of Defense (DOD) on Sept. 4 confirmed that two Venezuelan military planes flew over a U.S. Navy vessel in the Caribbean Sea, two days after the U.S. military destroyed a boat it said was carrying Tren de Aragua members and drugs.
“Today, two Maduro regime military aircraft flew near a US Navy vessel in international waters,” the DOD said in a statement posted to X. “This highly provocative move was designed to interfere with our counter narco-terror operations.”
