Colombian President Gustavo Petro announced that the boat bombed by the United States belonged to Colombia. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to him, Colombian citizens were on board this boat. However, the White House called this accusation baseless.
In recent weeks, the US has targeted four boats in the Caribbean Sea, resulting in 21 deaths. The American side emphasizes that these actions were directed against drug trafficking vessels, but no precise information has been provided about the identities of those killed.
Petro assessed this incident as a sign of a new war starting in the Caribbean Sea and called on the international community to stop such actions. At the same time, the US government requested President Petro to retract his statement.
Nevertheless, the two countries continue their cooperation in the field of security. This event indicates the increasing complexity of the political situation in the region and remains a focus of the international community.
