A U.S. Navy P-8A Poseidon aircraft, call sign PS011, returned to San Juan, Puerto Rico, this morning at approximately 9:36 AM UTC, after completing a seven-hour mission over the eastern Caribbean Sea. The aircraft departed San Juan earlier today, heading in a southern direction for its night mission over the Caribbean. The mission was conducted in the eastern side of the Caribbean Sea, with the aircraft reportedly flying in a southern direction. This development follows reports from yesterday regarding a potential U.S. plan for a ground invasion of Venezuela, with significant troop deployments to the region. The P-8A Poseidon is a maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare aircraft. The specific details of the mission conducted during the reporting window, which spanned three hours from 6:36 AM to 9:36 AM UTC on October 2nd, 2025, were not disclosed by the source. Yesterday's reports indicated that a U.S. plan for a potential ground invasion of Venezuela was being developed by Trump administration officials, including Senator Marco Rubio. These reports also detailed the deployment of over 6,500 American troops to the region, supported by a naval squadron. Venezuelan forces have reportedly deployed anti-air defenses and moved troops in response to the escalating tensions.
