Loud explosions were reported across parts of Caracas, prompting emergency responses and widespread concern among residents. Venezuelan authorities later confirmed that the blasts were linked to an air strike, though details about the targets and extent of damage remain limited.
Security forces were deployed to affected areas as officials urged the public to remain indoors. Images and videos circulating online showed flashes in the sky and smoke rising from parts of the city, while transport and daily activity were temporarily disrupted.
The government said assessments were under way to determine the impact of the strike, including possible casualties and infrastructure damage. No verified figures have yet been released, and authorities said further updates would follow as information is confirmed.
The incident marks a sharp escalation in tensions involving Venezuela and has drawn close international attention. Observers say the situation remains fluid as developments continue to unfold.
