💥 Explosions Rock Caracas as U.S. Military Action Sparks Outcry
Early Saturday morning, U.S. military strikes hit multiple sites in Venezuela, including the capital Caracas, triggering international condemnation. Venezuelan authorities reported explosions in four states, with power outages and smoke plumes seen near military bases. President Nicolás Maduro declared a 'state of external disturbance' and activated national defense plans.
🌐 Global Backlash Intensifies
Multiple countries swiftly condemned the attacks, calling them a violation of the UN Charter. The Venezuelan government accused the U.S. of attempting to seize control of its oil reserves, vowing resistance. Meanwhile, former U.S. President Donald Trump claimed on Truth Social that Maduro had been captured—a statement yet to be verified.
✈️ Regional Tensions Soar
The U.S. FAA banned flights in Venezuelan airspace amid safety concerns, while 15,000 U.S. troops remain stationed in the Caribbean. This escalation follows months of heightened sanctions and naval operations targeting alleged drug trafficking—a claim Venezuela dismisses as a pretext for regime change.
