US-Venezuela clash: US Coast Guard seizes 5900 kg cocaine | Venezuelan VP slams warship deployment

The US Coast Guard has released footage showing one of its cutters setting fire to a suspected “drug boat” before sinking it in the Pacific Ocean. The operation took place over the weekend as part of Operation Pacific Viper, the agency said. The video, posted online by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), showed the vessel bursting into flames after being repeatedly shot at.
