U.S. forces seize oil tanker 'Sophia' in Caribbean Sea

U.S. forces have seized the oil tanker "Sophia" in the Caribbean Sea, as announced by Southern Command. The operation took place recently, although specific details regarding the circumstances of the seizure have not been disclosed.

This incident follows a series of similar actions by U.S. forces in Latin American waters. In a recent development, U.S. forces intercepted another oil tanker in the region, highlighting ongoing enforcement efforts related to maritime operations.

The seizure of the "Sophia" adds to the context of U.S. actions against vessels allegedly violating sanctions, as seen in previous reports regarding the seizure of the Russian vessel Bella 1 for violating sanctions against Venezuela.

Further details about the operation and the status of the tanker are yet to be released.
