Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro says he has survived an assassination attempt involving explosive drones during a military event in Caracas.
Live footage of his speech shows the president suddenly looking upwards in terror as dozens of soldiers break formation and scatter.
Maduro has blamed Colombia for the attack and elements within the US of instigating "a right-wing plot" to kill him.
Maduro added that he had "no doubt" Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos was "behind this attack".
The Colombian government has denied any involvement, saying there is "no basis" to Maduro's allegations.
Venezuelan authorities have reported that seven soldiers were injured in the attack, and several people were later arrested.
