On January 3rd, shortly after 2 PM Beijing time, a massive explosion was heard in Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, triggering air raid sirens and causing a power outage in the southern part of the city near a large military base. The cryptocurrency market may have experienced a slight decline as a result of this event.
According to a post on social media by a CBS News reporter, US officials revealed that President Trump has ordered strikes against targets in Venezuela, including military facilities. The post stated, "This marks an escalation of the Trump administration's pressure campaign against the Maduro regime early Saturday morning."
