Loud explosions rock Caracas amid rising Venezuela-US tensions
Social media videos show thick plumes of smoke rising from various parts of the city, while air-raid sirens reportedly blared in the streets. Observers documented at least seven separate explosions, and low-flying aircraft were seen in the area.
Several districts, including the southern region near a major military installation, experienced power outages. No official statement has been issued by authorities regarding the incidents.
In a prerecorded interview broadcast on state television on Thursday, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro emphasized that the country remains open to discussions with the US on joint efforts to combat drug trafficking. “Whenever they want it, wherever they want it and however they want it,” he said, stressing his willingness to engage in dialogue.
Maduro also accused the US of attempting regime change in Venezuela, alleging that Washington aims to seize control of the nation’s extensive oil reserves through a prolonged campaign of pressure.
