The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has restricted all flights over Ceiba, Puerto Rico over “Special security reasons.”

In a Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM), the FAA warned that “no pilots are permitted to operate aircraft within the affected airspace.”

The FAA flight restriction also noted only Department of Defense aircrafts are allowed to fly in the restricted airspace.

The restriction of flights in the area will be quite long as the NOTAM states the effective dates are from November 01, 2025 to
March 31, 2026.

LOOK:

The airspace restriction comes after the Miami Herald reported the United States will soon conduct land strikes on military installations.

Per The Miami Herald:

The Trump Administration has made the decision to attack military installations inside Venezuela and the strikes could come at any moment, sources with knowledge of the situation told the Miami Herald, as the U.S. prepares to initiate the next stage of its campaign against the Soles drug cartel.

The planned attacks, also reported by the Wall Street Journal, will seek to destroy military installations used by the drug-trafficking organization the U.S. says is headed by Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro and run by top members of his regime.

Sources told the Herald that the targets — which could be struck by air in a matter of days or even hours — also aim to decapitate the cartel’s hierarchy. U.S. officials believe the cartel exports around 500 tons of cocaine yearly, split between Europe and the United States. While sources declined to say whether Maduro himself is a target, one of them said his time is running out.

“Maduro is about to find himself trapped and might soon discover that he cannot flee the country even if he decided to,” the source said. “What’s worse for him, there is now more than one general willing to capture and hand him over, fully aware that one thing is to talk about death, and another to see it coming.”

However, The New York Post on Friday reported Trump has still yet to make a decision when it comes to conducting land strikes on Venezuela.

Earlier in the month, Trump revealed he has not ruled out land strikes on Venezuela.

Update: The White House responded: “Unnamed sources don’t know what they’re talking about,” White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said in a Friday statement to Fox News. “Any announcements regarding Venezuela policy would come directly from the President.”
