Venezuela rejects "military aggression" by the United States, the government of President Nicolas Maduro said in a statement early Saturday.

Attacks took place in the capital of Caracas and the states of Miranda, Aragua and La Guaira, the statement said, prompting Maduro to declare a national emergency and call on social and political forces to "activate mobilization plans."
