Venezuela's Maduro orders massive military and militia mobilization amid internal instability, raising regional concerns.
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.
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.
Analysts say it reflects internal pressures and aims to project strength amid political instability and economic hardship.
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.
The situation remains tense but undeclared.
