The United States has carried out another military strike on a vessel in the Caribbean Sea, reportedly escalating tensions with Venezuela. The incident, first reported by a news agency, marks the first time survivors have been noted since the U.S. began its operations in the region on September 2.

President Donald Trump confirmed that the target was a submarine allegedly built for transporting illegal drugs. The Department of Defense reported that two survivors have been apprehended, while two fatalities were confirmed. The identities of those involved remain undisclosed, and the survivors' legal status is undetermined.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the operation as a necessary measure against drug trafficking, labeling those involved as "narco-terrorists."

The U.S. administration has confirmed five other similar strikes, resulting in 28 casualties. The operations are portrayed as efforts to counter drug trafficking originating from Venezuela. However, evidence supporting these claims has not been presented. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has sought intervention from the UN Security Council, arguing the illegality of the strikes under international law.

President Trump acknowledged reports that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has offered concessions to reduce tensions. The U.S. previously engaged in negotiations with Venezuela, but diplomatic efforts have since ceased. The U.S. has also increased the bounty on Maduro to $50 million.

President Trump has cited an "invasion" of criminal elements as a justification for emergency declarations and potential use of wartime powers. However, a report from the National Intelligence Council found no evidence supporting these claims.

The U.S. has reportedly authorized the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to conduct operations in Venezuela. The country is not typically recognized as a significant source of global drug trafficking.
