Caracas —
A CNN team witnessed several explosions and heard the sounds of aircraft early Saturday in the Venezuelan capital Caracas, and reported that some areas of the city were without electricity.
Venezuela’s government condemned what it said was a “very serious grave military aggression” by the US against multiple parts of the country after the explosions were reported in Caracas and other locations.
It accused the US of carrying out an attack on Caracas and the states of Miranda, Aragua and La Guaira, and said President Nicolás Maduro had signed a state of emergency and ordered all national defense plans to be implemented “at the appropriate time and under the appropriate circumstances.”
Explosions have been heard in Venezuela's capital of Caracas.
The country's government has accused the US of attacking civilian and military sites in multiple states.
