US strikes Colombian ship in the Caribbean Sea
According to US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, US forces have struck a ship belonging to Colombia in the Caribbean Sea. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

The ship is said to be connected with Colombia's left-wing National Liberation Army. Three people were killed as a result of the operation.

The Secretary emphasized that the ship was involved in illegal drug trafficking, but no concrete evidence confirming this claim has been released yet. The Pentagon did not provide additional information about the incident, and the Colombian embassy did not respond to inquiries.

On the same day, US President Donald Trump criticized Colombian President Gustavo Petro. Trump accused Petro of encouraging drug production and announced the suspension of financial aid to Colombia.

In recent months, the Trump administration has struck several ships in the Caribbean Sea. These actions have caused sharp criticism in Colombia.

Human rights organizations have described such operations as illegal killings at sea. Recently, relations between the US and Colombia have become tense.

Since Trump returned to power, political disagreements between the two countries have intensified. This situation poses a serious threat to regional stability and cooperation.

Furthermore, the international community is also paying attention to this issue. It is important that negotiations between the parties take place in the future to ease the situation.
