Американские военные 3 октября в четвертый раз атаковали морское судно у берегов Венесуэлы, в результате чего погиб экипаж корабля, подозреваемого в перевозке наркотиков в Карибском море. В причинах эскалации напряженности между США и Венесуэлой разбирался собственный корреспондент агентства Кazinform.
On October 3, the US military attacked a vessel off the coast of Venezuela for the fourth time, killing the crew of the vessel, which was suspected of smuggling drugs in the Caribbean. Kazinform's own correspondent investigated the reasons for the escalating tensions between the US and Venezuela.

Official information is tough to come by, but analysts say open questions abound about Caracas’ biggest ticket vessels.
WASHINGTON — In response to an American buildup in the Caribbean, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has pledged there is “no way” the US could invade the South American nation, as the nation was well prepared to defend its sovereignty.
And while Maduro may be handing out weapons to civilians to aid any fight on land, the potential for conflict — and the presence of US Navy ships in the region — also raises the question of Venezuelan capabilities at sea.

The 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly is over, and the familiar churn of speeches will fuel analysts for weeks. But Astana isn’t waiting on New York.
In his State of the Nation address, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev set out a domestic agenda for the second half of the decade—an attempt to steer Kazakhstan through a volatile era by marrying digital transformation with targeted investment and institutional reform. “The world has entered a new historical era,” he warned, one that will test governments that fail to adapt.
