In Caracas, the Venezuelan government initiated a disarmament plan where citizens exchanged household appliances like ovens and microwaves for weapons. A total of 80 items were exchanged, and the collected weapons were destroyed using a hydraulic press. Since the start of the initiative, 1,130 people have voluntarily surrendered their weapons, contributing to the destruction of 18,294 firearms this year.
