Authorities were able to confirm that there were two other civilian deaths during the bombing, which are documented, but it was not immediately clear that the victims were civilians. They were air traffic controllers Eduardo Soto Libre and Lenín Ramírez Osorio. Both men worked at the Caracas “Oscar Machado Zuloaga” International Airport in Charallave, in the Tuy Valley.

A source close to the victims indicated that both had finished their shift. Ramírez Osorio was going to drive Soto Libre home, and the explosion occurred as Soto Libre was getting into his car. Diosdado Cabello, Minister of the Interior, Justice, and Peace, asserted that a missile struck the vehicle.
