Six airlines cancelled flights to Venezuela on Saturday, an industry group said, after the U.S. aviation regulator warned of dangers from “heightened military activity” amid a major buildup of American forces in the region.

One day after the FAA issued a Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM), or an alert notifying pilots of potential serious hazards in certain airspace, for the Maiquetía Flight Information Region above Venezula, Reuters reported that the US is poised to launch a new phase of Venezuela-related operations in the coming days, citing four U.S. officials.

Amid a sharp escalation of pressure by the Trump administration on President Nicolas Maduro’s government, including proliferating reports of looming action as the US military deployed forces to the Caribbean amid worsening relations with Venezuela, two of the sources said covert operations would likely be the first part of the new action against Maduro, while two US officials told Reuters the options under consideration included attempting to overthrow Maduro.

Sen. Rand Paul on Sunday warned that President Donald Trump’s focus on Venezuela may lead to a “fracture” among those who were drawn in by his campaign promise of avoiding foreign wars.

In an interview with CBS’s “Face the Nation,” the Kentucky Republican told host Margaret Brennan that an invasion of Venezuela or even a renewal of subsidies to Ukraine could see “a splintering and fracturing of the movement that has supported the president.”

“I think a lot of people, including myself, were attracted to the president because of his reticence to get us involved in foreign war,” Paul said.

Over the last few months, Trump has launched a campaign to eliminate alleged drug trafficking in international waters near Central and South America, mostly through controversial boat strikes – although he has also floated the idea of taking the strikes to land.

Multiple B-52H Stratofortress bombers flew off the northern coast of South America Nov. 20, U.S. officials told Air & Space Forces Magazine, the latest show of force by U.S. bombers in the region as the Trump administration builds up its military power in the Caribbean.

The B-52s took off from Minot Air Force Base, N.D., on the lengthy, nearly daylong flight, which a U.S. official said was a “presence patrol.”

At the same time that the B-52s were operating in the region, the U.S. also dispatched Navy F/A-18 Super Hornets embarked on the USS Gerald R. Ford, the world’s largest aircraft carrier, and a U.S. Air Force RC-135 Rivet Joint signals intelligence aircraft.
