US President Donald Trump said the military struck a drug-carrying boat in the southern Caribbean, killing 11 alleged “narcoterrorists.” The vessel, linked to Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua gang, was reportedly transporting drugs to the US. Trump shared a video of the boat bursting into flames, though Venezuelan officials claimed it was fake. US officials confirmed no American troops were hurt. Trump warned others against smuggling drugs, saying, “Beware.” The strike follows rising US pressure on President Nicolás Maduro, including a $50 million reward for his arrest. Venezuela condemned the action, accusing Washington of aggression and threatening strong retaliation. (PC: BBC)
