According to the Venezuelan government, the bombings took place in Caracas and in the states of Miranda, Aragua and La Guaira. “We condemn this brutal and savage form of aggression against our people, which took the lives of military personnel, transformed into martyrs for the country, and of innocent Venezuelan civilians,” declared Rodríguez.
Faced with the escalation of the conflict, Venezuela requested an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council to discuss what it classified as “acts of aggression” by the United States. The request was formalized in a letter sent to the president of the Security Council, the Somali ambassador, Abukar Dahir Osman, with a copy sent to the UN Secretary-General, António Guterres.
Earlier, in a post on the social network Truth Social, Donald Trump confirmed that the United States “successfully carried out a large-scale attack against Venezuela” and stated that Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores were captured, intensifying the diplomatic and military crisis in the South American country.
