Colombian President Gustavo Petro announced "signs" indicate Colombian citizens may have been killed in a recent U.S. military strike on a boat off Venezuela. He declared a "new front in the war" has opened in the Caribbean. The U.S. has not identified the boat's occupants or confirmed nationalities. Previous U.S. strikes in the region, justified as targeting drug traffickers, have resulted in multiple deaths. Venezuela's Defense Minister accused the U.S. of using drug allegations to pursue regime change.
