Orinoco Tribune | August 22, 2020

The commander of the Integral Defense Zone (Zodi) “Marítima Insular Oriental” Vice Admiral, Jorge Tajan Rodríguez, has warned about the presence of an irregular boat in Venezuelan waters, which would carry armed persons on board.

In a message sent to fishermen in the eastern part of the country, the military chief specified that the ship is white and would carry no less than 10 people carrying rifles. The civic military union in Venezuela as well as the Militias allow this level of interaction between ordinary Venezuelans and the Army for the defense of the homeland.

Tajan urged the fishermen on the Anzoátegui and Sucre states to report whether they detect the presence of this boat or any irregular situation that occurs on the coasts of these locations in the eastern part of the country.

“We are requesting your collaboration to be alert and attentive to any vessel that is not from the area of the fishing zone where you are currently working (…) to report through the representatives of the Fishermen’s Council any abnormal situation that they see in any cove, on any beach, in any marina, inform on it,” he requested.

Along with this information, in the account of the Special Actions Forces (Faes) of the Bolivarian National Police Corps, an increase was reported in air and ground patrol work due to the possibility of destabilizing actions against the country.
