Nicolas Maduro Captured by US Cavalry !
Caracas, Jan 3 (EFE).-
Multiple explosions were heard with aircraft flying over in the early hours of Saturday in Caracas, at a time when Venezuela has denounced threats from the United States with military deployment in the Caribbean and warnings of ground attacks.
Details about the explosions in the Venezuelan capital are yet to be known.
Footage of the blasts have been circulating on social networks in several parts of the Venezuelan capital, while some internet users reported detonations at the country’s largest military base, Fuerte Tiuna, west of the city and at the La Carlota military base.
“Fuerte Tiuna is exploding,” people are heard saying in Spanish while recording videos from their windows.

Several planes were seen flying over the city.
In November US President Donald Trump warned of the possibility of attacks on Venezuelan territory during his tirade against Venezuela and the government of President Nicolas Maduro, which he accuses of allegedly leading a drug trafficking network.
Recently, Trump announced an attack on a “big facility” as part of his campaign against a drug trafficking network led, according to Washington, by Venezuela.
However, he did not specify whether the attack took place within Venezuelan territory or mention the geographical area where it happened.
According to the New York Times on Monday, the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) carried out a drone strike on a port facility in Venezuela the previous week.
On Thursday, Maduro said in an interview that his country’s defense system “has guaranteed and will guarantee the territorial integrity” of Venezuela, when asked about this alleged attack, which he neither confirmed nor denied. EFE
