U.S. Southern Command said on Wednesday that the U.S. "apprehended a stateless, sanctioned dark fleet motor tanker" called the Sophia in a "pre-dawn action" in the Caribbean. The vessel, it said, was conducting illicit activities and operating in international waters. Two U.S. officials told CBS News the Sophia was flying a Cameroonian flag and left Venezuela with oil on board. The U.S. judged it to be in violation of its embargo on Venezuela. The U.S. has full control of the vessel and no U.S. personnel were injured in the operation, the officials said. The U.S. Coast Guard was escorting it to the U.S. "for final disposition," according to U.S. Southern Command. Earlier Wednesday, the U.S. military also intercepted a Russian-flagged tanker that had been evading American forces for weeks, escalating a confrontation with Moscow after the ouster of its ally, President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela.

NEW; U.S. Seizes CHINESE -owned Tanker off VENEZUELA coast!! U.S. Coast Guard interdicted and seized a Panama-flagged oil tanker named Centuries off the coast of Venezuela in international waters. This is the most recent seizure, following an earlier one on December 10 involving the tanker Skipper. Industry sources indicate that the cargo on the Centuries belongs to an established China-based oil trader with a history of importing Venezuelan crude to Chinese refineries, aligning with descriptions of Chinese ownership or control. The vessel itself is not publicly listed under U.S. sanctions (unlike the prior Skipper), and the operation follows President Trump's announcement of a blockade on sanctioned oil tankers related to Venezuela. This action escalates U.S. enforcement of sanctions on Venezuelan oil exports, much of which goes to China via shadow fleets.
