FANB will destroy all rafts and dredges used for illegal mining

The Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) will destroy all rafts and dredges used for illegal mining in our country's hydrographic basins for undermining the security of our nation, said the strategic operational commander of the FANB, G/J Domingo Hernández Lárez.

Through a message published in his X account, he explained that the use of these implements for the predation of natural areas is contrary to the provisions of the Environmental Act and the Water Act.

“The use of mining ponds and dredges is prohibited in all Venezuelan hydrographic basins without exception,” emphasized the senior military official.
