A Sentinel-2 satellite pass over Rafael Hernández International Airport (BQN/TJBQ) in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, on December 22 captured five U.S. Air Force MC-130J aircraft parked on the southeast side of the airport, according to an X post by @LatAmMilMVMTs posted in the past 30 minutes ending at 11:46 p.m. UTC. The aircraft type and quantity were confirmed using other publicly available means, as stated by @LatAmMilMVMTs in the post during the reporting window from 11:16 p.m. to 11:46 p.m. UTC on December 22. This development follows OSINT tracking of a U.S. Air Force C-17A Globemaster III flight from Fort Campbell, Kentucky, to Aguadilla earlier on December 22, reported up to 9:46 p.m. UTC by accounts including @sipjack1776. The aircraft presence occurs amid U.S. interceptions of sanctioned Venezuelan-linked oil tankers, including M/T Bella 1 in the western Atlantic, and President Donald Trump's evening statements on December 22 that seized Venezuelan oil will remain in the U.S.
