Blasts and Low-Flying Jets Witnessed in Venezuelan Capital City Caracas
Accounts emerged of numerous blasts and the sound of low-altitude planes in Caracas in the early hours of the weekend. The situation has prompted accusations from Venezuela's government and requests for international action.
Caracas Blames US of Attack
Venezuela's socialist regime has blamed the United States of an act of "foreign aggression," claiming that ex- President Donald Trump reportedly ordered strikes against the Latin American nation. In an official announcement, the government asserted that strikes had targeted Caracas and three other regions: Miranda, La Guaira, and Aragua.
"Our only objective of this attack is to gain control of Venezuela's strategic resources, in particular its petroleum and minerals," the government asserted.
Venezuelan officials urged the international community to condemn the actions, which it described a "clear infringement of international norms" that put numerous of civilians in jeopardy.
Accounts of Blasts and Military Sites Hit
Eyewitnesses described hearing approximately multiple explosions around the middle of the night local time. Citizens in several neighborhoods allegedly ran into the streets outside.
"The whole ground shook. This is terrifying. We experienced explosions and jets in the area," stated one resident.
Smoke was reported rising from major defense sites in Caracas: the La Carlota airbase military airfield and the Fuerte Tiuna army base, where president Maduro is thought to have a residence.
Regional Condemnation
The leader of bordering Colombia, claimed on a social platform that "At this moment they are bombing Venezuela... bombing it with missiles." He demanded an urgent meeting of the Security Council.
Colombia, which recently joined the UNSC, said it would initiate defense measures at its frontier with Venezuela.
Context
The alleged attacks come after a prolonged pressure campaign by the United States against the Venezuelan regime. Beginning in August, authorities reported a major naval deployment off the country's northern coast and a series of airstrikes on ships accused of illegal activities.
Venezuela's government has declared "a state of emergency" and commanded all defense protocols to be activated. It has also summoned its citizens to protest and "reject this imperialist act."
American officials and the Defense Department have not immediately responded to requests for comment regarding the events.
