VISTORBELITUNG.COM,LA GUAIRA – A series of explosions erupted across Venezuela in the early hours of Saturday, with videos from the port city of La Guaira showing significant damage and impact sites. In response, President Nicolás Maduro has declared a state of emergency and directly accused the United States of launching an attack on the nation.
The footage circulating online depicts scenes of destruction in La Guaira, a key logistical hub near Caracas. The origin and precise targets of the explosions remain unconfirmed, but their widespread nature suggests a coordinated event of substantial scale.
President Maduro, in an urgent national address, stated, "This was a direct aggression against the sovereignty of Venezuela." He pointed the finger at the United States, though he did not provide immediate evidence or specify the nature of the alleged attack. "We are activating all defensive protocols. The Bolivarian Republic is under threat, and we will respond with force and dignity," he added.
The declaration of a state of emergency follows a recent buildup of Venezuelan military assets, including the deployment of BMP-3 armored vehicles in Caracas and heightened air force activity reported in recent days.
There has been no immediate comment from the United States government regarding the allegations. The situation is rapidly developing, with unconfirmed reports of military movements and communications blackouts in some areas.
International observers are urging caution and calling for a clear investigation into the cause of the explosions, as tensions in the region escalate dramatically.
