Venezuelan Navy Training Exercise Backfires After Ship Partially Sinks Amid U.S. Deployment Tensions

Venezuelan Navy Training Exercise Ends in Disaster

An amphibious transport ship from the Venezuelan Navy partially sank during a military exercise off the country's northern coast.

Unofficial reports suggest the ship ran aground during a coastal maneuver, causing flooding in the forward section and loss of buoyancy.

Images shared on social media showed the Capana-class landing ship listing forward and taking on water near the town of Cumarebo.

The vessel's hull appeared submerged well below its normal waterline, with the bow nearly under the surface.
