Feb 15 (Reuters) – The U.S. Department of Defense conducted a maritime interdiction and boarding of the vessel Veronica III, which tried to defy President Donald Trump’s quarantine, the department said on Sunday.
“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,” it said in a post on X.
“We tracked it from the Caribbean to the Indian Ocean, closed the distance, and shut it down,” it added.
