Explosions Shake Caracas as Trump Targets Venezuela’s Narco-Terrorists
Recent explosions have shaken Caracas, Venezuela’s capital, following escalating tensions and military threats from the United States. Local sources report that blasts were detected at a military airbase and a communications center, both highly secured facilities.
Details of the Explosions
The early hours of Saturday morning witnessed loud explosions, audible throughout the city. Witnesses reported seeing columns of smoke rising from the southern area, near a prominent military installation. Additionally, numerous helicopters were observed flying over Caracas, although their affiliations remain uncertain.
Government Response
The White House is reportedly aware of the incidents and the presence of aircraft in the vicinity. In response to the evolving situation, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a “Notam,” restricting American aircraft from entering Venezuelan airspace due to potential safety risks linked to military activities.
US Military Operations in Venezuela
In recent months, former President Donald Trump has threatened military action in Venezuela. He aimed to disrupt the flow of illicit drugs into the United States while also calling for the ousting of President Nicolás Maduro.
- Trump confirmed US operations targeting drug-loading facilities in Venezuela.
- Reports indicate that the CIA was involved in these strikes, representing a significant escalation.
- More than 20 drug-related military strikes have been executed by the US in both the Caribbean and Pacific.
International Implications
The geopolitical dynamics have shifted, with Russian President Vladimir Putin evacuating diplomatic family members from Venezuela, signaling concerns over US intervention. This development follows Trump’s increased sanctions on Venezuela and the bolstering of US military resources in the region.
As the situation unfolds, the international community remains on high alert, awaiting further updates. The tension in Caracas highlights the broader implications of US foreign policy and its impact on regional stability.
