Following the January 3, 2026, US airstrikes on Caracas infrastructure and capture of Nicolás Maduro, who remains in custody, no additional qualifying US drone, missile, or aerial strikes have occurred on Venezuelan territory in over four months, anchoring trader consensus at just 13% odds for another by December 31 amid fragile transition efforts. A joint US-Venezuela operation successfully removed all enriched uranium from the dormant RV-1 reactor by early May, accelerated after a reported US strike near the site, though lacking confirmation of physical aerial impact per market rules. Ongoing Venezuelan resistance, diplomatic backlash from Cuba and allies, and stalled coalition talks heighten risks, while President Trump's hints at oil-driven annexation face warnings of protracted conflict; upcoming congressional hearings on Latin America policy could influence escalation.

For the purposes of this market, a qualifying "strike" is defined as the use of aerial bombs, drones, or missiles (including FPV and ATGM strikes as well as cruise or ballistic missiles) launched by any United States operatives, including military forces, intelligence agencies, or other U.S. government operatives, that physically impact ground territory within Venezuela.
A strike on any area within the terrestrial territory (including rivers, lakes, ports, but excluding territorial sea) of Venezuela counts.
Missiles or drones that are intercepted and surface-to-air missile strikes will not be sufficient for a "Yes" resolution, regardless of whether they land on Venezuelan territory or cause damage.
Actions such as artillery fire, small arms fire, ground incursions, naval shelling, or cyberattacks will not qualify.
Any strike occurring during this market’s timeframe that is claimed by either Donald Trump or the U.S. government will qualify.
The primary resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.
This market will remain open until the end of the second day after the resolution time. If the date/time of a qualifying strike cannot be confirmed by a consensus of credible reporting by that time, it will resolve to "No" regardless of whether a strike was later confirmed to have taken place.
