Venezuela trains civilians after deadly US strikes
Tap title to read story
Following deadly US naval strikes that killed 17 individuals, Venezuela has reactivated its civilian militia, encouraging citizens to arm themselves. The government, accusing the US of "non-declared war," is providing weapons training to thousands, primarily older citizens, in what experts suggest might be a tactic to deter potential US aggression by increasing the human cost of any military action. While some residents eagerly embrace the call to defend their territory, others remain largely unconcerned, continuing daily life unaffected by the militia drills.
