The US has seized a vessel in international waters off the coast of Venezuela, US officials have told BBC News partner CBS.
It is the second time this month that the US has seized a ship off the country's coast.
The move comes after US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he was ordering a "blockade" of sanctioned oil tankers entering and leaving Venezuela.
Venezuela has not yet responded to the latest US seizure, but has previously accused Washington of seeking to steal its oil resources.
The BBC has contacted the White House for comment.
