An official statement claimed that civilian and military facilities in the city of Caracas and the states of Miranda, Aragua, and La Guaira were targeted, emphasizing that these actions seriously endanger the lives of the country's population.

According to the official position, the attacks threaten regional and international peace, particularly stability in Latin America and the Caribbean.
