US ‘Night Stalkers’ seen in Caribbean as fears of regime change rise in Venezuela
AI Summary
US military personnel from the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR), also known as the Night Stalkers, have been spotted in the Caribbean, specifically off the coast of Venezuela. The unit's helicopter units were part of a major military deployment to the region, which has also seen B-52 bombers and F-35 fighter jets take to the skies. US President Donald Trump has authorized covert CIA operations within Venezuela, increasing pressure on authoritarian president Nicolás Maduro. At least 27 people have been killed in US missile strikes on alleged drug vessels in the Caribbean since September. The deployment is part of a "carefully calibrated military messaging" campaign aimed at advancing US interests and potentially forcing Maduro from power. The outcome is uncertain, with possible scenarios including a regime change or a deal that ensures Maduro's exit.
