Venezuela's Interior Minister and one of the most influential figures in the Chavismo movement, Diosdado Cabello, has shifted his account of the now infamous U.S. military strike in the Caribbean last week, confirming that the vessel destroyed was real just days after dismissing the incident as fabricated.
Cabello also stated on Thursday that those killed in the September 2 operation were not drug traffickers or members of the Tren de Aragua criminal group, as the U.S. government has alleged.
