At 3:00 a.m. Monday, military officers took control of Chacao, eastern Caracas. Locals got frightened as they heard movement on the streets, but this time it was not law-enforcement officers, but a military contingent deploying across the area on grounds the municipality is facing a public security issue.

The order was given by the Ministry of the Interior and Justice, and aimed at bringing things back to normal in Chacao, said Minister Miguel Rodríguez Torres early in the morning.
