Venezuela Declares State of Emergency After Government Blames U.S. for Strikes

 


The government of Venezuela declared a nationwide state of emergency on Monday after accusing the United States of carrying out strikes on Venezuelan territory.

Maduro did not provide evidence to support the accusations during the address.

There was no immediate independent confirmation of the claims. Officials did not say how long the state of emergency would remain in effect.
