VENEZUELA has hit out after Guyana summoned its ambassador to deliver a protest note claiming that two Venezuelan fighter jets violated its territory earlier this week.

“Once again, Guyana’s government intends to generate false versions about the regular patrolling operations carried out by the Bolivarian National Armed Forces strictly circumscribed to non-controversial Venezuelan territory,” the foreign ministry said.

It accused Guyana of waging a disinformation campaign by fabricating “an alleged act of aggression” over the disputed Essequibo region.
