The administration of US President Donald Trump has decided to launch air strikes on a number of military facilities in Venezuela.
Modern.az reports that, according to the "Miami Herald" publication, operations could be carried out in the coming days, perhaps within a few hours.
According to sources, the main target of the strikes will be military bases used by the drug cartel named “Cartel de los Soles”. US officials believe that this criminal network is led by high-ranking representatives of the Venezuelan regime.
At the same time, it is noted that the cartel's leaders could also be targeted during the air operations. US officials state that this organization sends up to 500 tons of cocaine annually to European and US markets.
One of the sources noted that “Maduro's time is running out” and he may soon find himself unable to flee the country.
Washington has also doubled the reward for information leading to the arrest of Nicolas Maduro, bringing it to 50 million dollars..
