US Media: At Least Seven Explosions Occurred in the Capital of Venezuela

Golden Ten Data, January 3rd – According to the Associated Press, at around 2 a.m. local time on Saturday, at least seven explosions occurred in Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, accompanied by the sound of low-flying aircraft. The Venezuelan government has not yet responded. The explosions took place as the U.S. military has recently been conducting operations against vessels suspected of drug smuggling. On Friday, Venezuela expressed its willingness to reach an agreement with the United States on combating drug smuggling. President Maduro also stated that the United States is attempting to force the Venezuelan government to make changes and is seeking to obtain the country’s abundant oil resources through months of pressure, which began with the large-scale deployment of troops to the Caribbean since August.
