[BBC] Venezuelan officials say explosive drones went off as President Nicolás Maduro was giving a live televised speech in Caracas, but he is unharmed.
Communications Minister Jorge Rodriguez said this was an attempt on Mr Maduro’s life, and seven soldiers were injured.
Mr Maduro was seen speaking at an outdoor military event when he and others suddenly looked upwards – startled. The audio then went.
Dozens of soldiers were seen running away before the broadcast was cut off.
