Venezuela: Gunfire Erupts Near Presidential Palace
Share via WhatsApp
Heavy gunfire was reported in the vicinity of the Venezuelan presidential palace hours after Delcy Rodriguez was sworn in as the country’s interim president. Multiple sources indicate the incident occurred amidst heightened political instability following recent challenges to the Maduro government.
Drones were also observed flying over the palace grounds. The nature of the drone activity remains unclear. Details are still emerging, and the extent of any damage or casualties is currently unknown.
The incident follows a period of escalating tensions between Venezuela and the United States, with former President Trump having previously threatened other nations regarding the situation. Maria Machado, a prominent opposition figure, has publicly stated her intention to return to Venezuela but rejected Rodriguez’s legitimacy as interim president. The current situation remains fluid and is being closely monitored internationally.
