The Venezuelan government on Thursday authorized the holding, on Saturday 23 May, of an evacuation drill requested by the US Embassy in Caracas, which will include the controlled overflight of two aircraft over the Venezuelan capital and landing operations at the premises of the diplomatic compound. The activity, announced in an official statement by the Ministry of People's Power for Foreign Affairs, was framed by the administration of acting President Delcy Rodríguez as part of “the regular protocols of diplomatic security and protection.”

Los sobrevuelos ocurrirán casi cinco meses después de una incursión aérea de fuerzas estadounidenses para capturar a Nicolás Maduro.

En una de las primeras acciones visibles impulsadas por la Embajada estadounidense, se espera que dos aeronaves sobrevuelen Caracas.
