US Reportedly Ordered Strikes on Venezuela Amid Emergency Declaration

Venezuela is accusing the US of launching an attack on military and political installations, with at least seven explosions reported in Caracas. According to journalistic sources, former US President Donald Trump allegedly ordered strikes on targets within Venezuela. The Venezuelan government has declared a state of emergency and is calling on citizens to take to the streets. These accusations come amid heightened tensions, as the US has intensified its operations against drug trafficking in the region, while Venezuela accuses Washington of attempting to overthrow its government and control its energy resources. The Pentagon and the White House have not issued an official statement.
