The USA carried out an attack in the Eastern Pacific, killing four people, bringing the total number of victims to nearly 100 since September.

The United States military announced that it killed four people in a recent attack on a vessel in the Eastern Pacific, as part of the military operation "Southern Spear" in Latin America. This attack was ordered by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and has raised the total number of casualties to nearly 100 since September, following attacks on 26 ships recognized by Washington. Although legal experts accuse the U.S. of extrajudicial killings in international waters, President Trump justifies the attacks as necessary to stop drug trafficking from Venezuela.

Recently, the House of Representatives voted against resolutions that would have restricted the president's military actions in Venezuela. In this context, Trump ordered a naval blockade on oil tankers entering and leaving Venezuelan ports, which was denounced by Maduro's government as a serious threat. Leaders from Latin America and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres have expressed concerns about the escalating tensions between Washington and Caracas, emphasizing the need for dialogue to prevent violence. Maduro denounced the blockade and criticized comments from American officials about Venezuela's natural resources.
