The first thing to know about April 30 is that it was never meant to happen on that day. The uprising was planned for May 1st, when Guaido had called for protests. They had to move a day early because they were scared that there was a leak of information.
The plan was kept secret from a lot of people to try and ensure no one would leak the plans, not even Guaidos team knew about it. The whole thing was planned by Leopoldo Lopez who was able to contact people such as Maikel Moreno and Cristopher Figuera to plan the uprising.
The original plan involved Maikel Moreno and Vladimir Padrino Lopez, Maikel Moreno however wanted to become president in exchange for removing Maduro.
Video released by the Venezuelan Navy shows them shooting at the RCGS Resolute cruise ship then it shows the Resolute impacting the side of the GC-23 Naiguata and it shows severe damage to the Naiguata #Venezuela
The video is very heavily edited and only shows less than a minute of footage from the incident
The Venezuelan navy OPV vessel the GC-23 Naiguata was sunk early yesterday morning after it collided with the Resolute, Passenger ship registered in Portugal. The Resolute continued to sale to Curaçao without rescuing the Venezuelan crew of the sinking vessel. #Venezuela
$325 million naval vessel sunk after somehow colliding with the passenger ship so badly that it sunk the ship and yet the Resolute was able to continue on to Curaçao. An expensive loss
It appears that the Venezuelan Navy was trying to board the vessel when it was hit, I expect the passenger ship to also have noticeable damage
