No Evidence: US Did Not Use 'Secret Weapon' in Venezuela Raid

• Claims of a 'mysterious weapon' causing nosebleeds and incapacitation during the January 2026 raid on Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro are circulating on social media.
• The claims originate from an unnamed Venezuelan security guard who reported intense sound waves and physical symptoms.
• Independent fact-checkers, regional news outlets, and medical professionals found no credible evidence, eyewitness footage, or verification of such a weapon or symptoms.
• US officials and the Department of Defence have not referenced any unconventional weapons, describing the action as a precision law-enforcement raid.
• Military technology experts state there is no publicly acknowledged technology that can reliably cause the described effects, and such claims are often part of misinformation campaigns.

Why It Matters: Claims of a US 'secret weapon' in the Venezuela raid lack credible evidence and are unsubstantiated.
