Venezuela denounces US air strikes on Caracas and the states of Aragua and La Guaira

The Venezuelan government denounced on Saturday a series of air attacks carried out by the United States against “Venezuelan territory and population in civilian and military locations” in the capital, Caracas, and the states of Miranda (where the city is located), Aragua and La Guaira. The government condemned the actions as a grave military aggression against Venezuelan territory and civilians.

Anonymous White House sources, speaking on condition of anonymity to Fox News, confirmed that the U.S. military has indeed launched an operation on Venezuelan soil as a pressure tactic against President Nicolás Maduro’s government.
