Confirmed: The United States completely destroyed a vital scientific and academic center in Venezuela, located in Miranda state.
On Saturday, January 3 at 1:57am, facilities of the Mathematics Center of the Venezuelan Institute of Scientific Research (IVIC) were destroyed in the U.S. bombing attack of Venezuela. The Center is part of the National University of Sciences Dr. Humberto Fernández-Morán.
The attack has been described as ‘total’: these areas housed servers and essential equipment for computer networks that were completely devastated.
Two missiles directly hit the area, leaving fragments that show imperial hatred against Venezuela’s sovereign technological development.
In addition to the completely destroyed Mathematics Center, four more research centers of the Institute were affected: the Physics Center, Chemistry Center, Ecology Center and Nuclear Technology Unit
These spaces have been fundamental in training the professionals who support health, engineering and oil sovereignty.

The U.K. Ministry of Defense has now confirmed that it participated in this morning’s boarding and seizure of the Russian-flagged Iranian-linked oil tanker, Marinera, in the Northern Atlantic by the United States. According to a statement released by the MoD, the U.K. provided enabling support for the operation, which consisted of “pre-planned operational support, including basing, to U.S. military assets,” while the Tide-class replenishment tanker RFA Tideforce supported operation at sea alongside aerial-surveillance assets from the Royal Air Force.
