CARACAS, #Venezuela – the reporter heard the first strike at 1:55 in the morning. He was near La Carlota, a military base in the southeast of #Caracas, visiting a friend of his.
He had to admit it took him off guard completely. It was a surprise for everyone. There were no alarms, no warnings at all.
The night was cloudy, with a full moon. He only heard the sound of planes and one loud explosion. He woke up his friend, warning that, maybe, a military strike was starting.
Everything else was silent: just the airplanes and the explosions.

@timkmak We have friends in Venezuela and we are unable to reach them.
"For more than 20 years the Chávez and the Maduro regime have repressed the free press with violence. All we have are our families and friends’ messages. Audios, videos, texts passed with fear and information."
