US Strikes Drug Boat Loading Facility in Venezuela
Venezuela
U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that the U.S. carried out a strike on a dock facility in Venezuela allegedly used to load boats with drugs, marking the first known land operation in the country under his administration.
Trump described the target as an “implementation area” for drug shipments and stated, “We hit all the boats and now we hit the area,” without specifying the exact location.
The strike is part of an ongoing U.S. campaign against drug trafficking, which includes more than 30 strikes against suspected drug-smuggling vessels in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific since September, killing over 100 people.
The White House, Pentagon, CIA, and Venezuelan government have not publicly confirmed or commented on the alleged strike.
