The Real Story

For the first time, U.S. forces reportedly struck a target on Venezuelan soil. According to CNN citing sources familiar with the matter, the CIA conducted a drone strike on a remote dock on Venezuela’s northern coast believed by officials to be used by the criminal group Tren de Aragua for drug storage and transport. No casualties were reported as the area was empty at the time of the attack. President Donald Trump publicly acknowledged hitting a “big facility … where they load boats with drugs,” but did not specify which U.S. agency carried out the strike. The CIA, Pentagon, and White House declined to confirm details. The broader U.S. push against drug trafficking in the region has included multiple maritime strikes this year and increased military pressure on the Maduro government.
