Guyana says it is strengthening security along its western border with Venezuela after attacks on Guyana Defence Force (GDF) patrols in the Cuyuni River area. President Dr. Irfaan Ali announced on Friday that the country has deployed additional security assets and is increasing surveillance and military readiness in response to the incidents. Ali said Guyana is pursuing a combined approach that includes diplomacy and intelligence alongside enhanced operational posture. He also stated that Guyana has informed and is working closely with international allies, particularly regarding intelligence sharing, as part of its response. The Guyana Chronicle reports that the new deployments are intended to improve border monitoring following the recent attacks on patrols. Both outlets frame the measures as ongoing steps to address the situation along the border, with the Cuyuni River incident cited as a central reference point. The reports do not provide additional details on the number or specific types of assets deployed, nor do they specify responsibility for the attacks.
