U.S. forces have seized the oil tanker Olina in the Caribbean Sea, marking the fifth such interdiction in recent weeks as part of an intensified effort to curb Venezuelan oil exports and enforce sanctions. The vessel, described as part of a "ghost fleet" and falsely flying the flag of Timor-Leste, had departed Venezuela and was attempting to evade U.S. forces. The operation involved the U.S. Coast Guard, Navy, and Marines, with U.S. Southern Command stating there is "no safe haven for criminals." This action follows the recent seizure of a Russian-flagged tanker and broader U.S. pressure on Venezuela.
