US forces have boarded another sanctioned oil tanker in the Indian Ocean after tracking it from the Caribbean as part of efforts to target illicit oil tankers linked to Venezuela. Military personnel boarded the Veronica III in a "right-of-visit, maritime interdiction and boarding", the Department of War said in a social media post on Sunday. Venezuela had faced US sanctions on its oil for several years and relied on a shadow fleet of falsely flagged tankers to transport the crude oil. Image: US
