As Agence France-Presse reports, Venezuelan officials say the US air strikes that killed at least 56 soldiers also destroyed numerous non-military targets, including the Venezuelan Institute for Scientific Research (IVIC).
On Wednesday, the country’s science and technology minister Gabriela Jimenez shared footage of an obliterated building which she says housed the mathematics department at the IVIC. On top of this, Jimenez said that four other IVIC buildings were targeted for destruction: the physics, chemistry, ecology, and nuclear research centers.
“Two missiles struck the area directly,” Jimenez wrote on Telegram referencing the mathematics center, per AFP which translated the comment. “The attack was total: these areas housed servers and equipment essential to our computer networks that were completely devastated.”
In addition to the academic buildings, the governor of La Guaira, Jose Alejandro Teran, said the US air strikes destroyed a medicine warehouse located on the coastal city near Caracas.
“Tons of medicine burned to ash, tons of food,” Teran said in a video posted on social media. “Here are the results of what the bombs and missiles of the United States government have done… to destroy our warehouses full of medicine and food.”
Wtf when and why did he start striking Venezuela?
Is this satire? Did you miss the whole thing where he kidnapped the president like a week ago or so?
I got that part I said when did the bombs start
Bombing was part of the “special operation” where they abducted Maduro, so that day.
Unless you count the boat murders, of course. If so, the bombs started roughly 70 years ago in subjective time.
Oh fuck that’s right. When they kidnapped a president, I do remember seeing footage of explosions from the citizens.
Trumps two great fears - Truth and Science.
