U.S. President Donald Trump said American forces carried out military strikes on a large facility in Venezuela following what he described as an attack on a dock linked to U.S. interests. According to Trump, the operation was intended as a direct response and a warning against further hostile actions.
The strikes reportedly resulted in casualties, with Venezuelan authorities confirming that at least two people were killed. Details surrounding the alleged dock attack remain unclear, and independent verification of the events has not been publicly released.
Venezuelan officials strongly condemned the U.S. action, describing it as a violation of national sovereignty and accusing Washington of escalating regional tensions. The government said the targeted site was critical infrastructure and warned that such actions could destabilize the wider region.
The incident marks a sharp rise in tensions between the United States and Venezuela, adding to a long‑running dispute over sanctions, security, and political legitimacy. International observers have urged restraint as diplomatic fallout from the strikes continues to unfold.
