Here is the moment of the horrific attack on Venezuela.

The images show a large fire and explosions at the airport in Higuerote, Venezuela.

Stunning images confirmed by CNN show a massive fire and explosions at an airport in Higuerote, Venezuela . Numerous fireballs can be seen rising into the sky above the blaze; it is believed to have originated from an air defense system.

This is at least the second time strikes have hit early Saturday morning.

“The sky turned bright red”: A Venezuelan resident described the explosions to CNN.

A resident of Higuerote, a coastal city in Venezuela, told CNN that he first woke up to what he thought were fireworks, then  heard explosions all over the city  , the sky turned red, and his neighbors ran outside screaming.

Higuerote is a city on the coast of Venezuela, located approximately 85 kilometers (52 miles) east of Caracas.

Venezuelan news outlets Efecto Cocuyo and Tal Cual Digital had previously reported hearing explosions in La Guaira state, north of the capital Caracas, and in Higuerote.

“At first I thought it was something like fireworks,” said the 23-year-old man  ,  who requested anonymity for security reasons.

“Then there was another explosion and the ground started shaking. That’s when I realized something more serious was happening. My neighbors started screaming and running in the street, and I went outside my house and saw a huge wall of smoke.
The sky suddenly turned red and a few seconds later there was a loud bang in the air. There was silence for about 20 minutes and then we could hear plane sounds again, followed by two more explosions.”

“After that, everything started shaking. Although the explosions seemed controlled, it felt as if they had leveled the entire airport.”

“Now, two hours later, I haven’t heard any sirens from ambulances, police, or fire trucks.”

“The last bomb dropped 40 minutes ago. I haven’t heard anything since then, most of my friends and acquaintances are scared and uploading videos to their WhatsApp statuses. It’s complete chaos.”
