Venezuela’s government condemned what it said was a “very serious grave military aggression” by the US against multiple parts of the country after explosions were reported in the capital Caracas and other locations early on Saturday, APA reports, citing CNN.
In a statement, the government accused the US of carrying out an attack on Caracas and the states of Miranda, Aragua and La Guaira.
President Nicolás Maduro has signed a state of emergency and ordered all national defense plans to be implemented “at the appropriate time and under the appropriate circumstances,” a statement from the government read.
It also called on Venezuela’s social and political forces to mobilize and defend the country.
“The people of Venezuela and their Bolivarian National Armed Forces, in perfect popular-military-police unity, are deployed to guarantee sovereignty and peace,” a statement read.
The statement said Venezuela will also file complaints before the UN Security Council, the UN Secretary-General, and other international bodies, demanding the condemnation of the US.
