This operation, called Cacique Cayaurima, was announced in early June by the Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro, and is being carried out in the regions of Sucre, Anzoátegui, Monagas and Delta Amacuro.
The state channel, Venezolana de Televisión, indicated that the deployment, in addition to protecting the territory from invasions by terrorist groups from Colombia, seeks to “integrate and strengthen the civic-military-police union.”
On Saturday, the head of the FANB Strategic Operational Command, Domingo Hernández Lárez, reported that the Venezuelan military seized 2 boats and more than 2,000 liters of fuel used for human trafficking to Trinidad and Tobago, without specifying in which area of the country it had place the find.
