CIA said to have struck port site on Venezuelan coast

 The United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) conducted a drone strike against a port facility on the Venezuelan coast earlier this month, CNN reported, citing sources familiar with the matter.

The dock was struck because the US government believed Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua was using it to hold drugs and move them onto boats for onward shipments, the report said. The strike, which one of the sources described as largely symbolic due to the number of port facilities used by drug traffickers, caused no casualties. The facility was unoccupied at the time.

US President Donald Trump said on Monday that Washington hit a "dock area" in Venezuela "where they load the boats up with drugs," though he declined to say whether the CIA was behind the attack. "We hit all the boats, and now we hit the area... it's the implementation area. That's where they implement, and that is no longer around," he said.
