Loud explosions and sounds resembling aircraft flyovers were heard across parts of Caracas around 2:00 am (0600 GMT) on Saturday, January 3, according to AP. The reports of strikes in Venezuela come amid heightened tensions with the US. The blasts continued for at least 15 minutes, though their source and exact location were unclear. The incident comes as US President Donald Trump, who has deployed a Navy task force to the Caribbean, has raised the prospect of ground strikes against Venezuela. Earlier this week, Trump said the United States had struck and destroyed a docking area used by alleged Venezuelan drug boats, declining to say whether the operation was carried out by the military or the CIA, and describing the target only as being “along the shore.” US Imposes New Sanctions on Venezuela's Oil Sector.
