Venezuela 's armed forces started military drills along the Colombian border on Tuesday. These military drills are aimed at thwarting any foreign invasion to Venezuela's soil.
MojNews- Venezuela ۳۹;s armed forces carried out military drills along the Colombian border on Tuesday which it said were to prepare to intercept a "foreign invasion," though neighboring countries have not threatened to do so.
The armed forces۳۹; Strategic Operational Commander, Remigio Ceballos, said ۱۵۰,۰۰۰ troops were conducting activities "related to security, exploration and the interception of any invasion of Venezuelan territory."
"It۳۹;s an operation to guarantee the defense," Ceballos said, speaking to reporters at an airport by the city of La Fria in the border state of Tachira. The exercises are expected to continue for several weeks.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has repeatedly warned of an invasion from Colombia, coordinated by the U.S. government, but there is no evidence one is forthcoming.
The U.S. government has said it wants to resolve Venezuela۳۹;s crisis peacefully, either via negotiations or by forcing Maduro out of power through the use of crippling sanctions.
