Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Puerto Cabello is home to Venezuela's largest port complex, so persistent gang violence in the area could potentially affect cargo operations if security conditions deteriorate further.
