The US says it will conduct joint military flight drills in Guyana, as tensions rise with neighbouring Venezuela over territorial claims. Washington says the exercises are routine but reiterated what it called its unwavering support for Guyana's sovereignty. Venezuala has described the drills as a "provocation". Last weekend, it held a referendum aimed at reaffirming its territorial claim to the oil-rich Essequibo region.

Speaking at the Merco-SUR summit of South American nations, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva expressed his concern about the deepening dispute. Brazil shares a border with both Venezuela and Guyana.
