Explosions and Low-Flying Jets Witnessed in Venezuela's Capital Caracas City
Reports circulated of multiple detonations and the noise of low-altitude jets in Caracas in the pre-dawn hours of the weekend. The incident has sparked accusations from the Venezuelan authorities and requests for global scrutiny.
Caracas Blames Washington of Aggression
The incumbent regime has condemned the Washington of an act of "imperialist aggression," claiming that former President Trump reportedly directed military strikes against the South American country. In an official announcement, the government stated that attacks had impacted Caracas and three other regions: Miranda, La Guaira state, and Aragua state.
"The primary goal of this attack is to take control of Venezuela's natural resources, notably its oil and minerals," the government said.
The government called on the global community to censure the operations, which it described a "blatant breach of international law" that put numerous of civilians in peril.
Reports of Blasts and Defense Installations Hit
Locals reported experiencing approximately seven explosions around 2 a.m. in the morning. People in different districts reportedly rushed into the streets outside.
"The whole ground shook. It was horrible. We experienced blasts and planes in the area," commented one witness.
Smoke was seen rising from two defense sites in the city: the La Carlota airbase air base and the Fuerte Tiuna military base, where president Maduro is believed to reside.
Regional Condemnation
The leader of neighboring Colombia, Gustavo Petro, stated on social media that "Currently they are attacking Venezuela... attacking it with projectiles." He demanded an swift emergency meeting of the UN Security Council.
The Colombian government, which recently became a member of the UNSC, stated it would activate defense protocols at its shared border with its neighbor.
Preceding Events
The reported attacks come after a extended campaign of pressure by the Trump administration against the Venezuelan government. Beginning in last summer, authorities reported a significant US military buildup off the country's northern coast and a number of strikes on boats accused of narco-trafficking.
The government has declared "a state of external threat" and commanded all national defence measures to be initiated. It has also called on its supporters to mobilize and "reject this imperialist attack."
The White House and the Pentagon have not promptly responded to inquiries for a statement regarding the allegations.
