Venezuela on Thursday strongly condemned a U.S. air attack against the Syrian border region of al-Bukamal on Oct. 26.
In a statement, the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry urged the international community to "strongly reject those actions that violate law and demand an immediate stop of operations which are a mock of the peaceful coexistence principles."
The statement also reaffirmed the Venezuelan stance to "support the initiatives of the Syrian government and its President Bashar al-Assad to seek justice within the framework of international law due to this barbaric act of the U.S. government."
U.S. helicopters reportedly launched an attack on a building in Al-Sukkariah village in Abu Kamal town near the Syrian border with Iraq on Oct. 26, killing eight civilians.
