At least seven explosions and low-flying aircraft were heard around 2am local time Saturday in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas.
People in various neighbourhoods rushed to the streets. Some could be seen in the distance from various areas of Caracas.
Power in a large section of the capital is also reportedly knocked off, with one outage coming near one of the country’s major military bases.
According to local media, explosions were heard outside the capital too. Efecto Cocuyo, a Venezuelan news outlet, reported that explosions also happened in La Guaira, just north of the capital and in Higuerote, a city on the country’s coast.
