President Donald Trump confirmed over the past hour ending at 8:46 p.m. UTC on December 29 that the United States conducted its first land strike against Venezuela, destroying a drug facility in a massive explosion, according to X user @nicksortor. US Navy sailors remain forward-deployed in the Caribbean, sustaining nonstop vigilance to protect the homeland, as stated by @DeptofWar quoting the official @USNavy account during the reporting window. X user @OrlvndoA reported the US attack in Venezuela occurred while Polymarket betting was at its lowest point in months, shared within the one-hour period. These developments build on Trump's earlier confirmation today of US attacks on drug trafficking targets in territory controlled by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, as reported by X users @agusantonetti and @AlbertoRodNews in the prior hour.
