ALBA expressed its support and solidarity with the government of President Nicolás Maduro and the people of Venezuela. The organization denounced that these terrorist actions threaten the country's citizens' security and peace.

On August 15, a medicine warehouse of the Venezuelan Social Security Institute (IVSS) was destroyed in a fire. On August 18, Vice-President Delcy Rodríguez said that after investigation, it was proven that this event was an arson. The facility contained supplies for the treatment of dialysis patients.

President Nicolás Maduro accused terrorist groups trained in Colombia during the administration of former President Iván Duque of being involved in the warehouse fire.

The Executive Secretariat of the ALBA-TCP emphatically condemns the terrorist attacks perpetrated in Venezuela against oil installations and a medicine warehouse. We denounce and repudiate these attacks against the Venezuelan people's peace, stability, and security.

Venezuela's oil minister, Tareck El Aissami, denounced on July 16 an attack against a gas pipeline operated by the state-owned oil company Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA) in Monagas state. The attack caused a fire in one of the pipeline's sections.
