Venezuela’s Port of La Guaira has suffered damage following US military strikes, according to media reports, as the capture of Nicolás Maduro during the same operation was confirmed by President Donald Trump.
Images and eyewitness accounts carried by international media show damaged containers, impacted storage areas and signs of blast damage within the port complex.
Operations at the port are reported to have been disrupted as authorities assess the extent of the damage and safety conditions on the ground.
The port is a critical hub for imports serving the Caracas region, and any prolonged disruption could affect supply chains and local availability of goods.
Media reports suggest that while oil export infrastructure was not targeted, the damage to La Guaira highlights the vulnerability of civilian maritime facilities during military operations.
Venezuelan officials have condemned the strikes, while shipping and insurance sources are closely monitoring developments for potential impacts on vessel calls, port access and regional trade flows.
