U.S. attacked a Venezuelan port with CIA drones, according to the New York Times
So far, neither the Pentagon nor the US Government nor Venezuela have confirmed the attack mentioned by Trump. If confirmed, it would be the first US attack on Venezuelan soil.
U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed that U.S. forces destroyed "a large facility" last week during a campaign against an alleged drug trafficking network in Venezuela.
"They have a big warehouse, or a big facility, from which ships come out. We destroyed it two nights ago," the Republican tycoon said in a radio show broadcast on Monday by American media.
For the time being, neither the Pentagon nor the US Government nor Venezuela have confirmed this attack, which, if confirmed, would be the first US attack on Venezuelan soil.
According to the New York Times, the target of the attack by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was a pier used by the transnational group Aragua Train to store narcotics and move on ships.
According to anonymous sources, there was no one in the facility at the time of the attack and no casualties were reported.
According to the newspaper, the operation has intensified the pressure campaign launched by the Trump administration against Nicolas Maduro's government, which has so far limited itself to actions against suspected drug trafficking vessels in international waters. The latest such attack took place last night, when the US South Command destroyed an alleged narcoticalupa and killed two of those who claimed to be there.
For several weeks now, after destroying some 30 boats that are supposed to load drugs and killing more than 100 people, Trump has warned that as part of his campaign of pressure against Nicolas Maduro's administration, Washington would start attacking land targets.

Local leaders, including Governor Tim Walz, have defended the need for the Minnesota Criminal Detention Bureau to be involved in the case, but have reported from that organization that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has vetoed their access to material related to the case. The FBI has left the investigation to itself.
