On Tuesday, Guaido claimed to have also secured the backing of Venezuelan soldiers, while the country's leftist government said an attempted coup was under way.
Venezuela also warned that it reserves the possibility of applying other reciprocal measures "to compensate this unacceptable aggression against the personnel and premises of the diplomatic mission."
