Storyline


A residential building in northern Venezuela was hit by missiles during recent U.S. strikes, causing multiple deaths and injuries and leaving lasting fear among local residents.

The U.S. military launched a series of attacks against Venezuela on January 3, forcibly seizing Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife. Beyond military targets, the operation also resulted in civilian casualties. A four-story residential building in La Guaira was directly hit.

Walls of eight apartments were torn apart, with the facades of the second and third floors completely collapsed. Interior structures were exposed, while debris and furniture were scattered across the ground.
When the airstrike occurred, most residents were still asleep. The survivors said that they were jolted awake by deafening explosions and violent shaking of the building.

"I was sleeping when I suddenly heard an extremely sharp explosion. When I woke up, everything around me was orange and red, and the air was full of dust. I managed to get out of the building and saw that both the front and back walls of my home had collapsed," said a resident of the attacked building named Yonayder.

"At around two in the morning, I suddenly heard a loud roar, followed by an impact behind my home. I woke up, and my daughter, who was sleeping beside me, also woke up in fear, asking me what had happened. I told her it was an invasion. (The Americans) were invading us. As I was about to take her to her mother's room, there was a second roar. Then came an even stronger impact, right here, in front of the room. The blast wave from that explosion threw me into the air. I hit my head and started bleeding," said another resident named Jesus.

"Almost all the glass and doors in my home were shattered. The sound was terrifying. There were three impacts in total. After the explosions stopped, I went outside and saw devastation everywhere," said resident Robinson.

"We were standing outside the building and saw that explosions kept coming from the military academy and the Mamo Plateau area on the other side of the fence. Some people said the strikes might have hit areas where weapons were stored. The explosions happened one after another, lighting up the night sky in red. It was terrifying," said Delfina, a resident nearby.

The U.S. airstrike on the civilian building killed one woman, left another woman seriously injured and hospitalized, and wounded several others. Sixteen civilian families who once lived there lost their homes overnight and were temporarily staying in shelters or with relatives.

The attack was a deliberate attack on innocent civilians, leaving tremendous trauma for local people, according to Secretary-General for Social Security Affairs of La Guaira State Government Pedro Rodriguez.

"This was not an accidental strike, nor was it collateral damage. The missile directly hit this building. These ordinary civilians had nothing to do with any international conflict, yet they were innocent victims. The psychological trauma continues. Some residents now panic whenever they hear a motorcycle passing by, mistaking the sound for explosions. Residents describe this operation as a 'criminal and terroristic bombing,'" he said.

The work is already under way to assess the structural safety of the damaged building and dismantle hazardous sections. Social work teams have also been providing medical assistance, distributing medicines, and offering psychological counseling for the victims.
