Venezuela Deploys Thousands of Russian Anti-Aircraft Missiles Amid US Military Threats

Venezuela has 5,000 Russian-made anti-aircraft missiles in key air defense positions, its President Nicolás Maduro claimed on Wednesday, amid growing tension over the United States military deployment to the region. The announcement comes as US President Donald Trump threatened military action inside Venezuela, escalating tensions between the two nations. Maduro's claim appears to contradict earlier reports of only 1,000 missiles being deployed. The situation remains highly volatile and unpredictable.
