VENEZUELA LIVE | Trump orders strikes on Carcass? Massive explosion reported in multiple states

Explosions were reported in Venezuela’s capital of Caracas on Saturday. It was not immediately clear what caused the blasts. The explosions in the country came after months of threats, warnings and accusations of drug smuggling from President Trump and the U.S. government, all aimed at Venezuela’s authoritarian president, Nicolás Maduro, whom the State Department has branded the head of a “narco-terrorist” state. Eyewitnesses report particularly heavy and ongoing sounds of explosions in Fuerte Tiuna, a sprawling military base in the center of Caracas that is home to Venezuela’s top brass and many senior government officials.
