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.
According to unofficial reports, the ship ran aground during a coastal maneuver, causing flooding in the forward section and loss of buoyancy.
- The incident occurred near the town of Cumarebo, in the state of Falcón.
- Images shared on social media showed the Capana-class landing ship listing forward and taking on water.
The vessel's hull appeared submerged well below its normal waterline, with the bow nearly under the surface.
This incident happened amid tensions with the U.S. due to recent troop and bomber deployments in the Caribbean.
