A Caribbean maritime authority issued a notice stating hazardous operations, likely military, will occur in two areas north of Venezuela from December 27 to 28, 2025, requiring civilian ships and aircraft to divert around the zones, according to an X post by FaytuksNetwork in the past 29 minutes. The notice, shared with hat-tip to @HHunternight, specifies the operations' active periods and diversion requirements for safety, as posted at https://x.com/FaytuksNetwork/status/2004979147085676691 during the reporting window from 6:16 PM to 6:45 PM UTC on December 27. This development coincides with a U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone parked at Rafael Hernandez Airport in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, as shown in a Reuters photograph by Eva Marie Uzcategui reported earlier today amid U.S.-Venezuela tensions under President Donald Trump. Earlier related activity included the Challenger 604 jet N2FD, linked to former Venezuelan PDVSA figure Francisco D'Agostino Casado, holding south of Puerto Rico before landing in Anguilla, per FlightAware data cited in prior reports.
