On Saturday, failed Socialist President of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, was reportedly attacked while giving a speech during the National Guard’s 81st anniversary.
Multiple drones carrying explosives reportedly detonated near him and his wife.
The frightening scene was captured on live television.
Seven soldiers were reportedly injured in the attacks.
Daniel Duquenal from Venezuela News covered the local reaction following the attack.
The starving people of Venezuela are not convinced of the official story — many believe the attack on the Marxist leader was faked.
Well, @nicolasmaduro says he is well and that they have already caught the bad guys.
Really?
Just for the speed of the announcement and capture I am starting to doubt that it was a real attack.#SmellsLikeCastro https://t.co/TwbuO5WxR9— daniel duquenal (@danielduquenal) August 5, 2018
Local firemen reportedly say it was not a drone attack and instead was a cooking gas explosion.

Not all is clear.
The @nytimes has a fair report on the events this afternoon and lead us to understand that not all is clear cut. Or that they believe the official version for the time being.
