Air Europa canceled flights UX071 from Madrid to Caracas and UX072 from Caracas to Madrid until January 11 inclusive due to reasons beyond its control, according to an X post by @AirEuropa shared over the past 59 minutes ending at 2:45 p.m. UTC on December 19, 2025. The airline provided a link for passengers to check available alternatives: https://www.aireuropa.com/es/es/aea/comunicados/anuncios.html. In the same reporting window from 1:46 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. UTC, the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit posted on X about Marines with Kilo Company, Battalion Landing Team 3/6, conducting an offload in Ponce, Puerto Rico, on November 29, 2025, tagging @USMC, @Southcom, and @DeptofWar, per the post at https://x.com/22nd_MEU/status/2002016065690247311. This comes after an earlier report this afternoon of an X user claiming a group is heading to Venezuela tomorrow following a "$1776 warrior check and fancy dinner," and a sanctioned crude oil tanker operating near Venezuela's coast.
