BlockBeats News, on January 3rd, after 14:00 Beijing time today, a loud explosion was heard in the Venezuelan capital Caracas, air-raid sirens sounded, and the power supply in an area near a large military base in the south of the city was interrupted. Possibly affected by this event, the crypto market experienced a certain degree of pullback.

According to a post by a journalist from the American network CBS on social media, U.S. officials revealed that U.S. President Trump has ordered strikes on targets within Venezuela, including military facilities. The post stated, "This move marks an escalation by the Trump administration in its pressure campaign against the Maduro regime, in the early hours of Saturday."
