Venezuelan fishermen in fear after US strikes on boats in the Caribbean

Title: US Strikes on Alleged "Narco-Boats" in the Caribbean Raise Concerns The article reports that at least 27 Venezuelan fishermen have been killed in US strikes on alleged "narco-boats" in the Caribbean. The strikes, carried out under the pretext of targeting drug smuggling operations, have left the local fishing communities in fear. The incident has sparked concerns about the legality and proportionality of the US actions, with some experts questioning whether the vessels targeted were indeed involved in drug trafficking. The Venezuelan government has condemned the strikes, calling them a "massacre" and a violation of international law. The article highlights the vulnerability of the fishing communities, who rely on the sea for their livelihoods, and the potential impact of the US operations on their safety and well-being. It also raises questions about the broader implications of the US's anti-drug efforts in the region and their effect on the local population.
