On Saturday, explosives carried by drones were detonated near Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his entourage at a military ceremony in what he called an assassination attempt by right-wing foes.  
Maduro was unharmed, but the blasts injured seven soldiers taking part in the military parade honoring the National Guard in the capital of Caracas, the government said. “It was an attempt to kill me, they tried to assassinate me today,” Maduro said on national television three hours after the incident, as his aides listened and applauded him.
