On September 2, a U.S. military operation reportedly targeted a boat in Venezuelan waters. The vessel was described by U.S. authorities as transporting individuals identified as "narco terrorists".
Details reported by Washington Post journalist Alex Horton indicate that after an initial strike on the boat, a subsequent strike was allegedly ordered. This second action reportedly targeted two individuals who had survived the initial engagement and were in the water.
The operation falls within the broader context of U.S. efforts to counter drug trafficking in the region. The report by Horton raises questions regarding the nature and legality of the alleged second strike.
