Trump claims attack on a dock in Venezuela; US strikes kill two in Pacific

AI Summary

medium article 2 min

On December 30, 2025, US President Donald Trump claimed the US attacked a dock in Venezuela allegedly used for loading drug boats, marking the first known US land strike in the country in four months. Trump stated the US "hit all the boats" and the "implementation area" but declined to specify which US agency conducted the strike or its exact location. This announcement coincided with the US military reporting another strike against a suspected drug boat in the eastern Pacific Ocean, resulting in at least two deaths. There was no immediate comment from Venezuela regarding the alleged attack, and no independent reports have confirmed the incident. The actions are part of an escalated US pressure campaign against Venezuela, targeting drug-smuggling operations.
