Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has claimed that a group of paramilitary “terrorists” was intercepted while trying to enter the country from Trinidad and Tobago with a cache of weapons.
He was speaking at the swearing-in ceremony for Jhoanna Carrillo, the new governor of Sucre State — a coastal region in northeastern Venezuela that faces Trinidad and Tobago across the Gulf of Paria.
The state’s strategic location has made it a key area in cross-border security concerns, especially amid tensions involving migration and smuggling routes.
