A mysterious explosion along Venezuela’s northwest coast has triggered intense speculation over a possible U.S. strike. The blast was reported on December 18 in Alta Guajira, a remote region controlled by the ELN guerrilla group. Indigenous Wayuu witnesses described a massive explosion, strange buzzing sounds, and damage to a small hut and fishing equipment.

The White House and CIA have declined comment, fueling questions over whether this was a covert operation or an unrelated incident.
