Multiple explosions were reported across parts of Caracas, according to local accounts and international monitoring, as residents described loud blasts and visible flashes in the night sky. Emergency services were deployed to assess damage and secure affected areas.
Venezuelan authorities initially said investigations were under way to determine the cause of the explosions, while urging the public to remain calm. There were no immediate official figures on casualties or the extent of damage.
The reports came amid heightened regional and international tensions involving Venezuela and the United States. US officials have not publicly confirmed details, while developments were being closely followed by governments and international organisations.
As information continued to emerge, analysts cautioned that the situation remained fluid. Observers said the incident could have broader implications depending on confirmation of responsibility and the scale of the reported blasts.
