Even the photo used on the article's cover can be deceptive considering that it was taken in San Luis, El Cafetal, during sunrise. There wasn't a power outage there at that time, people were just... trying to sleep after the chaos.

You can even see homes with their lights on.

The data suggests that the internet connectivity remained stable in most areas of the capital, but several neighborhoods near the affected targets got disconnected.

This aligns with power outage reports in the west and south-west parts of Caracas, as well as video evidence.

Another metric we monitor is traffic volume. Both @radar.cloudflare.com and @kentik.bsky.social actually showed a surge in traffic right after the first attacks, not only at a country level but also from Caracas.

Millions woke up after the explosions and went online looking for information.

Active probing data from @ioda.live indicates a ~10% drop in connectivity in Dtto. Capital that started around 2:00 AM VET, the same moment the first explosions were heard in the city.

This only covers Libertador, one of the 5 municipalities of the Caracas metropolitan area.

This statement by @nytimes is factually incorrect. The vast majority of Caracas residents didn't lose power on January 3rd, not even "for a few minutes".

This can be verified through publicly available data, videos of the attack, and testimonies from people on the ground.
