Venezuelan Foreign Ministry accuses Peru of involvement in attack on military unit

“The Peruvian authorities are at least implicated, allowing terrorists to organize themselves with impunity,” Arreas wrote on his Twitter.

Denunciamos que el grupo de mercenarios que ha pretendido generar violencia y que hoy asaltó la unidad militar en Gran Sabana, tiene su base de operaciones en Perú. Las autoridades peruanas son al menos cómplices, al permitir que estos terroristas se organicen impunemente.

The minister said that attackers enter Venezuela through Colombia and also have support in Brazil.

“This is a coup d'etat strategy,” he added.

Earlier, the Minister of Defense of Venezuela, Vladimir Padrino Lopez, said that as a result of an armed attack by the opposition on a military unit, one soldier was killed.
