Russia’s Foreign Ministry condemned U.S. military strikes on Venezuela as an act of armed aggression, calling for restraint and urging international condemnation. The criticism follows explosions in Caracas and low-flying aircraft reported on December 31.
According to details received by The Chenab Times, the strikes targeted Venezuelan oil infrastructure amid escalating tensions over oil tankers. Reuters reported the U.S. action as lacking substantive basis and violating international law. The Moscow Times noted Russia’s formal diplomatic request to halt pursuits of Venezuelan-bound tankers.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro denounced the attacks as imperialist aggression and ordered nationwide mobilization. TRT World reported soldiers guarding key sites in Caracas after the blasts. The Guardian confirmed the incidents rocked the capital, prompting Maduro’s rejection of U.S. interference.
The U.S. strikes relate to sanctions on Venezuelan oil exports. CNN reported Russia filed a request to stop pursuing an evaded tanker. China echoed the condemnation, warning against military blockade.
No casualties were confirmed from the strikes. Reports said the violence as part of broader U.S.-Venezuela disputes.
