Paulina Moreno, a resident near Venezuela's Fuerte Tiuna military complex, described the chaos she witnessed during a U.S. strike earlier this week. In an exclusive interview, she told CGTN how explosions and gunfire shattered the pre-dawn calm on January 3, 2026, as families scrambled to evacuate.
💥 'It felt like a nightmare,' Moreno said. 'The buzzing, the flashes—then everything went dark. We didn’t know if we’d survive.' The attack caused widespread power outages, leaving residents without communication as panic spread through the neighborhood.
👧👴 Children and elderly residents were among those seeking shelter, with many fearing further escalation. The strike has sparked global debate about foreign military interventions in 2026, though U.S. officials have yet to comment publicly.
