BRAZIL: A group of unidentified people attempted to seize the Venezuelan embassy in the Brazilian capital, Venezuelan deputy foreign minister Yvan Gil said today.

“Unidentified persons are invading premises of our embassy in Brasilia. The Brazilian government should provide guarantees [of security] and respect international conventions,” he said.

It is unclear if anyone was injured. The government is yet to comment, but Workers’ Party MP Paulo Pimenta claimed on Twitter that “supporters of [leader of the Venezuelan opposition] Juan Guaido” are behind the attack.
