Venezuela Neutralizes Nearly 60 Attacks on Its Oil Facilities: Minister Cabello
On Wednesday, Venezuelan Citizen Security Minister Diosdado Cabello said that his country’s forces had thwarted more than 60 attacks on oil facilities over the past 10 days. This happened amid the parliamentary and regional election process, which was successfully held on Sunday, May 25.
During a press conference, the Bolivarian official said investigations revealed that the attack plan was orchestrated by a right-wing terrorist organization.
“We found people in Zulia, Caracas, Carabobo and Los Teques with an arsenal intended to disrupt the country’s peace,” Cabello said.
Following the arrest of far-right leader Juan Guanipa on Friday, authorities found contacts on his phone linked to NGOs such as Provea, Penal Forum, and United Doctors of Venezuela. These organizations are allegedly involved in financing the terrorist operations.
Venezuelan authorities also uncovered evidence of meetings held in Colombia that involved Maria Corina Machado and Ivan Simonovis, opposition leadership.

Venezuela Proposes Binational Peace and Economic Development Zone with Colombia to Combat Drug Trafficking
In a renewed call for cooperation, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro Moros urged the Colombian government to join forces in establishing a binational zone dedicated to peaceful economic development.
This initiative aims to tackle the persistent challenges of drug trafficking, terrorism, and violence plaguing the extensive 2,200-kilometer border shared by the two nations. President Maduro highlighted Venezuela’s success in reclaiming control over its border region, attributing this achievement to the Bolivarian Revolution’s commitment to sovereignty and social justice.
President Maduro underscored that the proposed binational zone is not only a security measure but also an economic project designed to foster development and stability.
