The Venezuelan government denounces a "military aggression" by the United States and establishes a state of shock.

According to reports from journalists and citizens, there have been explosions and overflights of helicopters and planes. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a press release stating that the purpose of the attack was "to acquire Venezuela's strategic resources, especially its minerals and oil." The attacks were described by the authorities as a "clear violation of the Charter of the United Nations, in particular its articles 1 and 2, which establish the prohibition of the use of force, respect for sovereignty and legal equality between countries." "US law enforcement participated in this operation."
