Jan. 9 (UPI) -- The United States on Friday seized another oil tanker in the Caribbean Sea as it works to control Venezuela's oil, military officials said.
The U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Marines captured the Olina overnight, officials said.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem posted on X that the ship was "suspected of carrying embargoed oil" and had tried "to evade U.S. forces" as it left Venezuela.
The U.S. Southern Command posted on X that it's "unwavering in its mission to defend our homeland by ending illicit activity and restoring security in the Western Hemisphere."
