The United States has deployed additional special-operations aircraft and personnel into the Caribbean area to ramp up pressure on Venezuela, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.
At least 10 CV-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft, which are used by special-operations forces, flew into the region Monday night from Cannon Air Force Base in New Mexico, said the U.S. newspaper, citing a U.S. official.
Flight-tracking data also showed that C-17 cargo aircraft from Fort Stewart and Fort Campbell Army bases arrived in Puerto Rico on Monday. Another U.S. official confirmed that military personnel and equipment were transported on planes, said the report.
It's unclear what types of troops and equipment the aircraft were transporting, but these military bases are home to multiple U.S. special-operations forces, it said.
