Venezuela's Bolivarian National Guard clashed with opposition forces in what appeared to be the greatest challenge to President Nicolás Maduro's ruling United Socialist Party since a previous coup attempt in 2002.
A four-month political standoff between Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and parliament speaker Juan Guaidó has turned violent as forces loyal to the two factions clashed in the capital Caracas.
Security forces attempted to disperse the rally using tear gas, but footage filmed by Reuters showed demonstrators attacked incoming government armored vehicles with sticks and stones. Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino reported on Twitter that the uprising has "been partially defeated," though he claimed Bolivarian National Guard Colonel Yerzon Jimenez Baez had been shot in the neck and said responsibility lay with the"political leadership of the opposition."
