But when civilians tried to block military vehicles, soldiers opened fire shooting 12 and killing a woman named as  Zorayda Rodriguez, 42, it has been reported (victims pictured inset left, ambulance top right, confrontation bottom right). The villagers are believed to have been trying to keep open a section of the border so that aid could be moved into the area from Brazil. It comes after dramatic footage emerge of a clash between President Nicolas Maduro's troops and supporters of his rival Juan Guaido. The clip shows trucks trying to ram through a checkpoint in Mariara, northern Venezuela, as security forces loyal to Maduro stand in its path.
