\n

\u201cAt least seven explosions and low-flying aircraft were heard around 2 a.m. local time Saturday in Venezuela\u2019s capital, Caracas.<\/em><\/p>\n

Venezuela\u2019s government did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/em><\/p>\n

People in various neighborhoods rushed to the streets. Some could be seen in the distance from various areas of Caracas.<\/em><\/p>\n

This comes as the U.S. military has been targeting in recent days alleged drug-smuggling boats.<\/em><\/p>\n

On Friday, Venezuela said it was open to negotiating an agreement with the United States to\u00a0combat drug trafficking<\/span>. The South American country\u2019s President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro also said the U.S. wants to force a government change in Venezuela and gain access to its vast oil reserves through the monthslong pressure campaign that began with\u00a0a massive military deployment to the Caribbean Sea<\/span> in August.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
