The Strategic Operational Commander of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB), GJ. Domingo Hernández Lárez, reported that in the full exercise of national sovereignty, an aircraft that entered the nation's space with the transponder turned off and without authorization was intercepted and immobilized.

According to information issued by the senior military officer, the procedure was carried out in the state of Apure, where “the military force received information from this aircraft that came from the Caribbean Islands without a flight plan, in addition, with the communications suppressed”.

“When she headed through southern Venezuela and illegally entered the territory, she was detected and declared as a target of interest and a hostile vector. It landed on an unauthorized border runway in the Rómulo Gallegos municipality of Apure state and was immediately immobilized,” he said.

Finally, Hernández reiterated that "Venezuela is a land of peace, we will not allow the violation of our sovereignty, we are not a platform for transnational drug trafficking, we do not produce or consume narcotic substances”.
