US bombs Venezuela
Several explosions rocked Caracas early Saturday, with a CNN team reporting that parts of the Venezuelan capital have been cut off from the electricity grid.
The first blast was recorded at about 1.50am local time, according to the network.
“One was so strong, my window was shaking after it,” Osmary Hernandez, a CNN correspondent, said.
Several neighbourhoods lost power and aircraft could be heard flying after the explosions.
The cause of the explosions was not immediately clear.
A video obtained and verified by CNN showed two plumes of smoke billowing into the night sky amid flickering city lights, with an orange glow visible at the base of one plume before a flash and a dull booming sound were heard elsewhere.
Venezuelan news outlets Efecto Cocuyo and Tal Cual Digital reported that explosions were also heard in La Guaira state, north of Caracas, along the country’s coast, and in Higuerote, a coastal city in Miranda state.
US President Donald Trump has repeatedly warned that the United States is preparing to take new action against alleged drug trafficking networks in Venezuela, saying strikes on land would start soon.
In October, Trump said he had authorised the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to operate inside Venezuela to curb illegal flow of migrants and drugs from the South American country.
Started reading skeptically because the headline seemed overconfident, and the post earned the headline by the end, and a look at dunemeadowcommercegallery continued that pattern of earning its claims, sites that can back up their headlines without overpromising are rare and this one has clearly developed editorial calibration on that front consistently.
Well structured and easy to read, that combination is rarer than people think, and a stop at heronhilt confirmed the same standard runs across the rest of the site, definitely the kind of place I will be coming back to when this topic comes up in conversation later again over the weeks ahead.
I learned more from this short post than from longer articles I read earlier today, and a stop at slacktally added even more useful detail without going off topic, this site clearly knows how to keep things focused without sacrificing depth which is a hard balance to strike for any writer.
Glad I stumbled across this post, the explanations actually make sense without needing background knowledge to follow along, and after a stop at junipercovemerchantgallery the same was true there, no assumptions about the reader just clear writing that anyone can understand from the first line right through to the end.
Liked that the post landed without needing to manufacture controversy or take a contrarian stance for attention, and a stop at smeltstraw continued that grounded approach, content that earns attention through quality rather than provocation is the kind that builds long term trust rather than burning it on quick wins.
Felt the writer respected me as a reader without making a show of doing so, and a look at hekarc continued that quiet respect, this is the kind of small but meaningful detail that separates the sites I bookmark from the ones I close after a single skim and never return to again no matter how interesting the headline.
A piece that did not require external context to follow, and a look at shoreviper maintained the same self contained quality, content that stands alone without forcing readers to chase prerequisites is more accessible and this site has clearly thought about how each piece can serve a fresh visitor rather than only existing members.
