U.S. strikes in Caracas removed Nicolás Maduro, prompting celebration, catharsis, and concern over legality and potential U.S. motives.
The Navy is medically treating two survivors of the latest U.S. airstrike on an alleged Venezuelan cartel drug vessel, according to The Wall Street Journal. The two survivors were rescued from their sunken submersible by the Coast Guard on Thursday and transferred to the USS Iwo Jima, where a medical staff was waiting to treat them, the report said. This was the sixth known air strike against alleged drug runners and the first time any survivors have been reported.
