Venezuelan Navy Training Exercise Ends in Disaster
An amphibious transport ship from the Venezuelan Navy partially sank during a military exercise off the country's northern coast.
Unofficial reports suggest the ship ran aground during a coastal maneuver, causing flooding in the forward section and loss of buoyancy.
- The incident occurred amid tensions over recent U.S. troop and bomber deployments in the Caribbean.
- The ship was participating in maneuvers simulating defense against a naval invasion.
Images shared on social media showed the Capana-class landing ship listing forward and taking on water near the town of Cumarebo.
