In a statement, the Venezuelan government said it "rejects, condemns and denounces the extremely serious military aggression" carried out by the US against its territory and population.

"The objective of this attack is nothing other than the seizure of Venezuela’s strategic resources, particularly its oil and minerals, through an attempt to forcibly break the nation’s political independence," the statement said.

"The attempt to impose a colonial war to destroy the republican system of government and force a 'regime change', in alliance with a fascist oligarchy, will fail like all previous attempts," it added.

Trump announced the operation on his Truth Social platform hours after explosions were reported near civilian and military facilities in the capital, Caracas, as well as in the states of La Guaira, Aragua and Miranda.
