This is at least the second attack in international waters since January 3, when the United States captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in Caracas, and in total there have been more than 35 such attacks against vessels since August 2025. The Southern Command has killed more than 110 people during these attacks, which have drawn criticism in the North American country and the international community for the use of military force under the Administration of President Donald Trump.
