Multiple Venezuelan military vehicles were observed on October 2nd, 2025, departing the Aviation School in Maracay and heading towards Carabobo, according to a social media post timestamped at 4:30 PM UTC. This movement occurred during a period of heightened regional tensions and follows alerts within the Venezuelan Comprehensive Aerospace Defense Command (CODAI) earlier in the day. The visual confirmation of military vehicle movement, captured in a social media post within the reporting window of 2:39 PM to 4:39 PM UTC, adds a new layer of activity to ongoing speculation about Venezuela's military posture. The vehicles were seen leaving the Aviation School, a significant military installation, and proceeding onto the highway in the direction of the Carabobo state. Earlier on October 2nd, CODAI was reportedly placed on "condition one," indicating a heightened state of readiness, as suggested by an unverified alert message circulating around 9:00 AM UTC. This alert was issued amidst ongoing speculation regarding potential U.S. military actions against Venezuela, including reports of the Trump administration considering military strikes or a ground invasion. This latest observation of military movement near Maracay follows earlier flight tracking data indicating a Venezuelan Air Force C-30H Hercules aircraft departed Bael heading south around 11:30 AM UTC on October 2nd. A U.S. Navy P-8A Poseidon aircraft had also returned to San Juan, Puerto Rico, at 9:36 AM UTC after a mission over the eastern Caribbean Sea.
