flag Venezuela's Maduro orders massive military and militia mobilization amid internal instability, raising regional concerns.

flag Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro has ordered a large-scale military mobilization, deploying armed forces and a civilian militia he claims numbers in the millions, according to reports. flag The move, the largest in the region since the 1980s, includes training exercises featuring troops and civilians under barbed wire, pledging loyalty to the government. flag Analysts say it reflects internal pressures and aims to project strength amid political instability and economic hardship. flag While no external threat has been confirmed, the deployment has raised concerns among regional and U.S. officials, though the military's readiness for conventional warfare is questioned due to years of focus on domestic protest suppression. flag The situation remains tense but undeclared.
