The Venezuelan Air Force has shot down a plane suspected of transporting illegal narcotics over the western state of Apure on the border with Colombia, the country's Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez announced early Tuesday via his Twitter account.
Gen. Lopez posted a photo of the downed aircraft, saying "it is the wreckage of a King 200 plane that trespassed into our airspace and was shot down by the personnel of the strategic command of the Bolivarian Armed Forces southeast of Elorza, in the Apure state," he wrote.
