In a significant escalation of international tensions, the United States has launched strikes within Venezuela, impacting key areas like the capital, Caracas. This follows a period of mounting threats from President Donald Trump against Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro.

Early onlookers in Caracas reported explosions and thick black smoke engulfing the city, with social media flooded with images capturing the intense scenes. The Venezuelan government has responded by declaring a national emergency and deploying defense forces.
