Drug/Narco Boat seizure is at the heart of US/VENEZUELA tensions.

According to ‘El Pitazo’, ‘in the town of Unare, people are in turmoil: several of the crew members were known.’

While Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized on September 3 in Mexico City that the attack on the vessel carrying drugs from Venezuela was destroyed in international waters in the southern Caribbean Sea, authorities under Nicolás Maduro’s regime insist that the details are unclear.

For this reason, Colombian and Venezuelan media have revealed some details of the destruction of the vessel, in which 11 people died, according to President Donald Trump .

However, Venezuela’s Minister of the Interior and Justice, Diosdado Cabello , explained that he only saw five people inside the boat.

Spokespeople for the Maduro regime also indicated that the video was created using artificial intelligence tools.

Trump previously revealed on September 2 that the vessel was headed to Trinidad and Tobago with drugs from the Tren de Aragua, an organization considered a narco-terrorist organization by the United States.

The digital media outlet El Pitazo reported that the boat set sail this Sunday night, August 31, from the town of San Juan de Unare, in the state of Sucre, in northern Venezuela.

According to sources from El Pitazo , the boat was destroyed early Monday morning, September 1st, in the waters of the Caribbean Sea. Furthermore, the cargo is valued at $40 million in Venezuela, but in the Miami market, it would be valued at $100 million.

The only thing both Americans and Venezuelans agree on is that the shipment was headed to the coast of Trinidad and Tobago.

El Pitazo indicated that two other vessels had previously left and were not intercepted by the U.S. Navy, which has eight vessels deployed in the area, including three amphibious vessels, along with 8,000 soldiers and a submarine.

El Pitazo also reported that there were 11 men on the boat, 8 of whom were residents of Unare and 3 from neighboring towns.

“It was a pinball machine , a speedboat about 12 meters long by 2.5 meters wide, with four engines of 200 horsepower each,” explained César Batiz, director of El Pitazo, in a live broadcast on Wednesday night, September 3.

The Bogotá newspaper El Tiempo noted that the state of Sucre and Trinidad and Tobago are separated by a two-hour boat ride.

Furthermore, El Tiempo reported that illegality on the route is not new, as there have been previous reports of arms, drug and human trafficking.

According to El Pitazo , “in the town of Unare, people are in turmoil: several of the crew members were known to each other.”

Cabello on the night of September 3 on his show Con el mazo dando did not discredit the video published by Trump on his Truth Social network.

But Cabello did threaten Venezuelan leader María Corina Machado , who is in hiding due to threats from the Maduro regime.

Cabello also denounced the murder of the people on the boat and said he had only seen five, not 11 as Trump claimed.
