US media outlets have reported that the CIA carried out a drone strike earlier this month on a port facility on the coast of Venezuela, which is believed to be the first known US attack on a target inside that country.

According to CNN, the drone strike, the details of which have not been previously reported, targeted a remote dock on the Venezuelan coast that the US government believed was being used by the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua to store drugs and move them onto boats for onward shipping.

No one was present at the facility at the time it was struck, so there were no casualties, according to the sources.

Two sources also told CNN that US Special Operations Forces provided intelligence support to the operation, underscoring their continued involvement in the region. But Col. Allie Weiskopf, a spokesperson for US Special Operations Command, denied that, saying, “Special Operations did not support this operation to include intel support.”

President Donald Trump appeared to first acknowledge the attack in an interview last week that initially attracted little notice, though he offered few specifics, including when reporters asked directly about it on Monday.
