Venezuelan troops fire on villagers

VENEZUELA: Venezuelan troops opened fire on indigenous people near the Brazilian border killing two people, reports said.

This, agencies said, has been a move of President Nicolas Maduro to block U.S.-backed efforts to bring aid into the country.

The United States has been storing aid in the Colombian town of Cucuta this weekend.

Despite shortages of food and medicine in the country, Maduro has been denying of a humanitarian crisis in Venezuela. (Agencies)
