Large numbers of anti-vehicle "hedgehogs" have been positioned along the Caracas-La Guaira highway, which serves as the main route between Caracas and Maiquetia airport. This deployment follows recent training exercises conducted in the weeks leading up to operation "Gedeon". The training focused on blocking the highway using containers to prevent potential attackers from the coast from gaining easy access to Caracas.
The presence of these defensive measures indicates heightened security concerns in the area.
