Venezuela Leader Denounces Helicopter Coup Bid

Description

A stolen police helicopter reportedly fired grenades at government buildings in Venezuela overnight, in what the country's president characterized as an attempted coup. The oil-rich nation has been debilitated by months of deadly anti-government protests, along with a failing economy and shortages of food and medicine. President Nicolas Maduro blamed the air assault on a rogue police pilot, who allegedly escaped the scene and was being hunted by authorities. No one was injured in the attack.
