Overview

• Venezuela ran weapons-handling trainings for civilians in Caracas and other cities on Saturday following high-profile military drills on La Orchila and a parade of armored vehicles.
• President Donald Trump demanded Venezuela accept the return of migrants and warned of "incalculable" consequences, as a U.S. flight repatriated 185 people Friday, bringing returns this year to more than 13,000.
• The United States says it has destroyed at least three suspected drug boats in recent weeks and released new strike footage, with F-35 fighters in Puerto Rico supporting a naval flotilla that includes a nuclear-powered submarine.
• Venezuelan attorney general Tarek William Saab formally requested a UN probe into the maritime strikes, and Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez denounced what he called an "undeclared war."
• Legal and diplomatic criticism is intensifying, with UN human-rights experts and U.S. lawmakers challenging the strikes' legality, reported death tolls diverging across accounts, and Colombia labeling the U.S. deployment disproportionate.
