US destroys alleged Venezuelan drug boat, killing three

The US has destroyed an alleged Venezuelan drug boat, resulting in the deaths of three individuals. This incident comes after the Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro, warned that Caracas would defend itself against any "aggression" from the US. The US military operation targeted the vessel, which was suspected of carrying drugs, in international waters. The Venezuelan government has condemned the attack, calling it a "hostile act" and a violation of their sovereignty. The incident has further escalated tensions between the US and Venezuela, whose relations have been strained for years due to political and economic differences. The US has accused the Maduro government of corruption and human rights abuses, while Venezuela has accused the US of interfering in its internal affairs. The situation remains tense, and the consequences of this latest confrontation are yet to be fully understood. The incident highlights the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the region and the potential for further conflict between the two nations.
