U.S. Conducts Drone Strike on Venezuelan Drug Facility, Trump Confirms
In a significant escalation of U.S. operations in Venezuela, former President Trump announced that American forces have struck a large facility linked to alleged drug trafficking along the Venezuelan coast. This marks the first known land attack in the country, following months of maritime enforcement against drug activities. The CIA reportedly carried out a drone strike on the port facility, which was used as a loading dock for drug boats. Trump described the strike as a vital component of the U.S. campaign against narcotics in the region, emphasizing the extensive impact of the operation. Despite the confirmation of the attack, details regarding its execution and consequences remain sparse, raising questions about the potential ramifications of this heightened military engagement.
