Early Saturday morning, military zones in the city of Caracas and the states of Miranda, Aragua, and La Guaira were attacked by the United States, according to a statement.

“This act constitutes a flagrant violation of the Charter of the United Nations, especially Articles 1 and 2, which enshrine respect for sovereignty, the legal equality of states, and the prohibition of the use of force,” the statement indicated.

The statement noted that such aggression threatens international peace and stability, specifically in Latin America and the Caribbean, and seriously endangers the lives of millions of people.

It denounced that the objective of this attack is none other than to seize Venezuela’s strategic resources, particularly its oil and minerals, attempting to forcibly break the nation’s political independence. “They will not succeed.”

The Bolivarian Government called on all social and political forces in the country to activate mobilization plans and condemn this imperialist attack.

It affirmed that the people of Venezuela and their Bolivarian National Armed Forces, in perfect popular-military-police unity, are deployed to guarantee sovereignty and peace.
