U.S. officials have not formally confirmed details surrounding an alleged strike on Venezuelan territory after President Donald Trump said the United States targeted a dock facility used in drug trafficking operations.

Trump stated that the site was used to load boats carrying illegal drugs, describing the action as part of ongoing U.S. counter-narcotics efforts connected to Venezuela. However, no official statement has been released by the Pentagon or the Central Intelligence Agency verifying the operation, its location, or the agency responsible.

Several media outlets, citing unnamed U.S. officials, have reported that a drone strike may have been carried out earlier in December against a remote dock along Venezuela’s coastline. Those reports indicate the site was unoccupied at the time and that no casualties were recorded, though this information has not been independently verified.

Venezuelan authorities have not publicly acknowledged that a strike occurred, and there has been no confirmation from local officials or state media. The lack of official responses from both governments has left uncertainty about the scope and timing of any action.

If confirmed, the strike would mark a notable shift in U.S. operations related to Venezuela, which in recent months have focused primarily on maritime actions against suspected drug-smuggling vessels in international waters rather than land-based targets.

For now, the account of the strike remains based largely on statements from the U.S. president and unnamed sources, with key facts still unverified.
