Air Raid Sirens and Explosions in Caracas, Venezuela, Following Trump Threats

Air raid sirens and explosions rocked Caracas, Venezuela, in the early hours of Saturday. Reports indicate that Fort Tiuna, a major military complex housing the Ministry of Defense and the Military Academy, was a target. The explosions come after previous threats from Donald Trump regarding potential military intervention in Venezuela over the issue of narcotics. Nicolás Maduro had dismissed the accusations, accusing the White House of seeking a pretext for an attack. The situation remains unclear, with reports of multiple targets and potential impacts on military, energy, and logistical infrastructure.
