President Donald Trump confirmed during the 59-minute period from 8:46 p.m. to 9:45 p.m. UTC on December 29 that the United States carried out a strike on a dock area in Venezuela, according to a Financial Times report shared by X user @FT. The Venezuelan company Primazol stated that a fire at its facility on Christmas Eve was not caused by an attack or sabotage, describing such reports as unfounded rumors, as cited by X user @FaytuksNetwork during the reporting window. Primazol noted the fire occurred on the same evening in the same area where Trump claimed the US destroyed a drug boat loading facility. Primazol has never been sanctioned or mentioned by the US Treasury or State Department, with no credible reports linking its owners or executives to Tren de Aragua or the Cartel de los Soles network, according to @FaytuksNetwork. These developments follow Trump's earlier confirmation over the prior hour of a US land strike destroying a Venezuelan drug facility, as well as attacks on drug trafficking targets in territory controlled by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, according to previous reports citing X users including @nicksortor and @agusantonetti.
