Early on January 3, 2026, at least seven powerful explosions were heard across Caracas, Venezuela’s capital, around 2 a.m. local time, accompanied by reports of low-flying aircraft overhead. Videos on social media showed smoke plumes and flashes, while parts of the city experienced power outages and residents rushed into the streets amid fear and confusion. The cause of the blasts has not been officially confirmed, but the incident unfolds amid heightened tensions between the United States and Venezuela, with U.S. military activity in the region linked to counter-drug operations. Venezuelan authorities have not detailed responsibility, leaving speculation and global concern to grow.
