How did Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro respond to the strikes?

Question

Accepted Answer

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro responded by mobilizing 500,000 civilian volunteers for a "Bolivarian militia" and ordering the military to combat readiness on Oct. 20. Maduro called the strikes "imperialist warmongering" and accused the U.S. of plotting regime change under drug war pretenses. Venezuela complained to the UN Security Council that U.S. aircraft violated its airspace during surveillance missions. This creates escalation risk: if Venezuela fires on U.S. surveillance planes or ships, Trump could claim self-defense and launch wider strikes. Maduro's mobilization shows how unilateral U.S. military action can destabilize regions and provoke armed responses.
