The move has reignited tensions in the long-standing territorial dispute over the oil-rich Essequibo region, sparking objections from Caracas, media reported.
According to a statement from the US embassy, the flyover was coordinated and approved by the Guyana Defense Force, reflecting the ongoing collaboration between the two nations.
However, Venezuela, already engaged in a diplomatic standoff with Guyana over the oil-rich Essequibo region, denounced the action as a threat to the fragile peace negotiated between Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and Guyana’s President Irfaan Ali last December.
Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez condemned the presence of US military assets in the region, warning against further provocations.
