The United States conducted its first known drone strike inside Venezuelan territory, targeting a remote dock believed to be used by the criminal gang Tren de Aragua for drug trafficking. The CIA is reportedly behind the operation, which occurred earlier this month and resulted in no casualties as the facility was unoccupied. While President Trump has indirectly confirmed an attack on a drug-smuggling facility, details regarding the specific agency involved and intelligence support remain contested, with US Special Operations Command denying involvement.
