Venezuela has 5,000 Russian-made anti-aircraft missiles in “key air defense positions,” its President Nicolás Maduro claimed on Wednesday, amid growing tension over the United States’ military deployment in the Caribbean.

U.S. strikes against Venezuela in international waters are a dangerous escalation and amount to "extrajudicial executions," a group of independent United Nations experts said on Tuesday.

President Trump’s deployment around Venezuela includes training with an Army unit capable of inserting some of the military’s most elite and deadly special operations forces.

President Trump called off a planned "surge" of federal forces to San Francisco, but officials in the East Bay said they were still gearing up for major immigration enforcement operations in their cities.

The latest U.S. military strike in the Caribbean against an alleged drug boat left multiple survivors, with two being detained and held on a Navy ship, according to multiple news outlets.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States took survivors into custody after its military struck a suspected drug-carrying vessel in the Caribbean — the first attack that anyone escaped alive since President Donald Trump began launching deadly strikes in the region last month, a defense official and another person familiar with the matter said Friday.

The warning from the White House came after the US president previously downplayed internal violence in Gaza since a ceasefire and hostage deal between Israel and Hamas went into effect last week.View
