US 'cowardly kisnapping'
Venezuela’s defense minister says a large number of President Maduro’s security team was killed during what he called “the United States’ cowardly kidnapping” of Maduro and his wife” on Saturday. General Vladimir Padrino announced that the country’s armed forces have been fully activated to safeguard national freedom, independence, and sovereignty and to confront the imperial aggression. Padrino urged Venezuelans to resume normal daily activities. He also voiced support for Vice President Delcy Rodriguez, who has been declared as interim president. After months of US threats and pressure tactics, the United States carried out a military attack on Venezuela on Saturday and abducted its president. Maduro and his wife were subsequently taken to a detention facility in New York.
Decrying US aggression
People have taken to the streets of New York and Caracas to protest the recent u-s attacks on Venezuela and the kidnapping of President Maduro. In New York, Americans gathered in front of the metropolitan detention center in Brooklyn, where Maduro is being held. The protesters demanded that no war be waged neither on Venezuela nor anywhere else. Meanwhile, protests in the Venezuelan capital Caracas have been ongoing as well, with many Venezuelans demanding the immediate release of their president. Demonstrations in solidarity with Venezuela have erupted across the globe following US attacks on Venezuela.
Israel Gaza strikes
The death toll from the israeli genocide in Gaza has surpassed 71,380 as the regime continues its strikes despite the ceasefire. Three have been killed and over ten others injured in the latest Israeli attacks across the besieged strip. One was killed by a drone fire in southern gaza’s Rafah city. The other two were in the southern city of Khan Younis, one of them a fisherman and the other a 15-year-old boy. The regime also launched airstrikes on the north, and its army has demolished several residential buildings in Khan Younis. Meanwhile, victims remain trapped under the rubble as rescue teams cannot reach or evacuate them due to ongoing attacks and the blockade.
