Colombia has said that its three abandoned navy boats dragged into Venezuela due to "strong current" on Meta River, signaling no connection with failed May 3 raids.
The statement came late Saturday after the Venezuelan army seized the boats.
According to a preliminary investigation, "three boats of the Colombian Navy that were in a Fluvial Control Post moored on the banks of the Meta River, in the department of Vichada, on the Colombian-Venezuelan border, and at the time they were unmanned, they were dragged away by the river currents at dawn today," the Colombian army said.
Due to "the strong currents," the boats were dragged without having the opportunity to get them back, it added.
