In the eastern Pacific Ocean, the US struck a vessel, resulting in two deaths. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro called on the military to activate training programs involving the public to prepare for command units. US President Donald Trump warned Iran of serious consequences if Tehran's resumption of its nuclear program is confirmed. Hezbollah itself stated that external pressure from the US and Israel goes beyond issues concerning the disarmament of the movement. Saudi Arabia carried out strikes on the port city of Al-Mukalla in Yemen, targeting two ships arriving from the UAE carrying a large shipment of weapons and military equipment for the Southern Transitional Council forces. Yemeni authorities declared a state of emergency across the country for 90 days.
