Gunfire heard near Venezuelan presidential palace

Gunfire was heard near the Venezuelan presidential palace on Monday (5 January), days after US forces captured and deposed Nicolas Maduro. The shots were sparked by a “misunderstanding” between different government forces in Caracas, according to CNN. The presidential guard allegedly had no knowledge that drones belonging to state agencies were undertaking surveillance, and opened fire before being informed. A White House official told CNN “the US is not involved” in the shooting, but that they are monitoring the situation.
