Investing.com -- Venezuela’s Defense Minister General Vladimir Padrino announced on Thursday that five combat planes were detected near the country’s coast, which he described as a threat from the United States.
"They are imperialist combat planes that have dared to come close to the Venezuelan coast," Padrino said during a speech at an air base that was broadcast on state television. He added that information about the aircraft had been reported to a control tower by an airline.
Padrino condemned the aircraft presence, stating: "The presence of these planes flying close to our Caribbean Sea is a vulgarity, a provocation, a threat to the security of the nation."
The U.S. has deployed warships throughout the Caribbean region, which Washington claims is part of efforts to combat drug trafficking. The U.S. has also conducted strikes on several boats it alleges were carrying drugs from Venezuela, resulting in fatalities of those on board.
