He said Maduro is safe and unharmed but that seven people were injured. ‘At exactly 5.41pm in the afternoon several explosions were heard,’ Rodriguez said in a live address to the nation minutes after the incident. ‘The investigation clearly reveals they came from drone-like devices that carried explosives.’ Footage broadcast by state television has shown the Venezuelan leader abruptly cutting short a speech as hundreds of soldiers scatter.

Update: Maduro blames far-right wing factions within Venezuela for the attacks, via Associated Press:

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro says authorities have captured some of those responsible for what he is calling an assassination attempt. In an impassioned address to the nation, Maduro said some of the “material authors” of an attack with drones are now in custody. He said far-right wing factions within Venezuela working in collaboration with conspirators in Bogota and Miami were responsible. He did not provide the names of those detained or describe the charges they are facing. Maduro added that some of those who financed the attack are in Miami and that he hoped President Donald Trump is “willing to fight the terrorist groups.” He promised a full investigation to hold all those responsible, “No matter who falls.”

Venezuelans are suffering because of Socialism and are forced to pick through trash for food.

The children and adults are fighting over garbage now.

The average Venezuelan today has lost 24 pounds since the food shortages began.

Western media refuses to focus on this tragedy because they all supported this far left regime.
