The U.S. has attacked a second ship from Venezuela on the grounds that it was carrying drugs
Donald Trump has reported that ships carrying cocaine and fentanyl and three people inside have been killed in the attack, while Nicolas Maduro has stressed that the country is more prepared for "armed struggle" if the US attacks Venezuela.
U.S. President Donald Trump reported on Monday that his country has attacked a ship allegedly loaded with drugs from Venezuela in the Caribbean Sea.
"This morning, under my command, the United States Military Forces launched a second attack on the drug cartels and identified drug terrorists in the area under the responsibility of the Southern Command," the president said on the Truth Social platform.
According to Trump, the ship was in international waters and three Venezuelan "terrorists" were killed in the attack.
In subsequent statements at the Oval Office, Trump has stated that the video of the operation shows the ship carrying drugs like cocaine and fentanyl.
For his part, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has declared that his country is "more prepared" for an "armed struggle" if the US attacks it. The US, on the pretext of combating drug trafficking, is engaged in military action.
In the face of this attack, Maduro has proclaimed that Venezuela has a "legitimate right of defence".
