RPT-Indigenous Venezuelans wounded after clash with security forces: relatives

Several indigenous Venezuelans suffered gunshot wounds early on Friday after confronting government security forces in an area close to the Brazilian border, doctors and relatives told a Reuters witness at the medical center where they were being treated.

Some members of the indigenous community in that area have previously expressed their support for the opposition's plans to bring in foreign aid this weekend despite the objection of President Nicolas Maduro. (Reporting by Corina Pons Writing by Sarah Marsh)
