Venezuela on Alert: Sirens, Explosions Rock Caracas Amid Trump Threats

Air raid sirens and explosions rocked Caracas, Venezuela early Saturday morning amid escalating tensions with the United States. Reports indicate that the Tiuana Fortress, a significant military complex, was struck. Military helicopters were observed flying over the city, and power outages were reported in several areas. The explosions were confirmed by journalists and news correspondents, with reports of at least seven explosions. This comes after threats from Donald Trump of potential military intervention in Venezuela over drug trafficking, which Nicolás Maduro dismissed, accusing the White House of fabricating a pretext for attack.
