On the social media platform X, there are comments that ¡°it¡¯s really not funny. Nations have no right to destroy ships in international waters without a legal basis.¡±

Trump said on social media on September 2nd that the U.S. military opened fire on ships "transporting illegal narcotic drugs to the United States" in international waters located in the area of responsibility of the U.S. Southern Command, killing 11 "identified" members of the gang "Aragua Train". Maduro responded at the press conference that it is still controversial whether the attack is true and whether 11 people allegedly from Venezuela were killed. Venezuela is conducting relevant investigations, and he stressed that the US should take the lead in investigating.

A number of US media recently quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that the ship had turned around and sailed to the shore before the US attack began. So far, the Pentagon has not provided conclusive evidence to prove that the target of the 2nd attack was drug dealers, nor can it determine its specific destination.
