Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro announced the mobilization of approximately 4 million militia members amid heightened tensions with the United States. The move follows the U.S. government’s decision to double its bounty to $50 million for Maduro’s capture, prompting concerns over escalating confrontations. Additionally, three U.S. warships are reportedly heading toward Venezuelan waters, further intensifying the situation in the region.
In response to the increasing military and security pressures, Maduro also declared a ban on drones flying across the country. The government stated that the measure is aimed at safeguarding national security and preventing potential threats from unmanned aerial vehicles. The developments mark a significant escalation in the ongoing tensions between Venezuela and the United States, with both sides demonstrating heightened military postures.
