A series of explosions occurred in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas, prompting the Venezuelan government to accuse the United States of carrying out attacks on both civilian and military installations. In an official statement cited by Al Jazeera, Caracas condemned what it described as U.S. military aggression and called on the international community to reject such actions.

According to the report, the U.S. administration said it was aware of the explosion reports but did not issue an immediate response. Colombian President Gustavo Petro posted on social media that bombings were taking place in Caracas, warning the world about missile strikes on Venezuela, though he did not name any country. He urged the United Nations to intervene in the situation.

The explosions come amid heightened regional tensions, as the United States has been conducting naval operations against drug trafficking in the Caribbean and Pacific, resulting in 115 deaths. Thousands of U.S. troops and several naval vessels have been deployed in the area, and President Trump has hinted at possible military action.
