Military officials announced Sunday that American forces successfully intercepted a ship that had attempted to violate quarantine restrictions ordered by President Donald Trump.
The Defense Department reported that personnel boarded the vessel known as Veronica III during an overnight operation in the Indo-Pacific Command region.
“Overnight, U.S. forces conducted a right-of-visit, maritime interdiction and boarding of the Veronica III without incident in the INDOPACOM area of responsibility,” military officials stated in a social media announcement.
According to the Defense Department, the operation involved an extensive pursuit across international waters before the vessel was successfully stopped.
“We tracked it from the Caribbean to the Indian Ocean, closed the distance, and shut it down,” officials explained in their statement.
The military emphasized that the boarding operation was completed safely with no reported incidents during the enforcement action.
