Baghei said, "We condemn the 'illegal intervention' by the United States and some of its allies in Venezuela's internal affairs, which is reminiscent of the malicious and divisive interventions of 2019 through the recognition of a parallel government and express our solidarity with Venezuela's legitimate and elected President Nicolas Maduro." According to news agency Xinhua, Baghei said that Iran considers any foreign interference in Venezuela's internal affairs as contrary to the principles of international law and the United Nations Charter and inimical to peace and stability in the South American country.

Mild earthquake strikes Dima Hasao district of Assam.

Mild tremors of earthquake were felt in Assam's hilly Dima Hasao district on Saturday night. Its magnitude was measured at 3.8 on the Richter scale. A disaster management official said that the earthquake was felt in Dima Hasao district and surrounding areas at around 11.05 pm.

According to the National Center for Seismology (NCS), the epicenter of the earthquake was at a depth of 10 kilometers from the surface. The earthquake in Assam on Saturday is the sixth such earthquake in less than a month in the hilly northeastern states. Earlier on November 24, an earthquake of 3.6 magnitude on the Richter scale hit the Bishnupur district and surrounding areas of Manipur, in which no damage or casualties were reported. Its epicenter was at a depth of 10 kilometers from the surface. On November 21, an earthquake of 3.5 magnitude on the Richter scale was felt in West Kameng district and surrounding areas of Arunachal Pradesh, whose epicenter was at a depth of five kilometers from the surface.

Seismologists consider the hilly Northeast region as the sixth most earthquake-prone region in the world. In 1950, an earthquake measuring 8.7 on the Richter scale changed the course of the Brahmaputra River, which passes through the congested city of Guwahati, the main commercial hub of the northeast region.
