The streets of Caracas, Venezuela have turned into chaos Tuesday after a military vehicle drove directly into a crowd of protesters.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump is threatening a blockade of Cuba if the country’s troops don’t ‘cease military and other operations’ which he said are being carried out ‘for the purpose of causing death and destruction to the Constitution of Venezuela.’

A Venezuelan National Guard vehicle was caught on video running over anti-Maduro protesters outside a military base in Caracas, who were throwing stones and hitting vehicles with sticks after opposition leader Juan Guaido called on members of the military to rise up, reports https://globalnews.ca.

Whether any injuries resulted from the incident is unknown.

Guaido is calling for a military uprising to oust President Nicolas Maduro.
