US Strikes Land Target in Venezuela: A CIA Drone and a 'Vanished' Dock

Donald Trump announced that the US destroyed a dock in Venezuela used for loading drugs, potentially the first land strike in the Latin American country since the start of the US military campaign against narcotics in September. Washington is escalating pressure on Caracas, seeking the removal of President Nicolás Maduro. US armed forces have bombed dozens of vessels allegedly involved in drug trafficking, killing at least 107 people. However, the US government has not presented evidence to support these claims. Trump had threatened land operations against drug cartels in Latin America. According to CNN sources, the strike on the dock was carried out by a CIA drone this month. The announcement came after a vague reference by Trump in an interview, where he stated that the US had destroyed a “large facility” used to produce drug trafficking vessels. The lack of transparency and the questioning of the legality of US operations are causing concern.
