Venezuela says it has deployed 17,000 troops along its border with Colombia, which was closed on Monday for the first time as part of an anti-smuggling operation.

Up to 40% of goods Venezuela subsidises for its domestic market are smuggled to Colombia, where they are sold at much higher prices, the authorities say.

The border was closed on Monday night, and will be each night for a month.

The move has been agreed with the Colombian government.

The Venezuelan government initially announced that it planned to close the 2,200km-long (1,360-mile) border every night for an indefinite period.

But later the general in charge of the operation, Vladimir Padrino Lopez, clarified that the ban will be lifted after a month.

The border is being closed between 22:00 local time (02:30 GMT) and 05:00 (09:30 GMT).

Cargo vehicles, including vans and lorries, will be banned from crossing from Venezuela to Colombia between 18:00 (22:30 GMT) and 05:00 (09:30 GMT).

'Drug gangs'

Venezuela, which has the world's cheapest petrol prices, estimates 100,000 barrels of petrol are smuggled through its western border every day and sold illegally in Colombia.

The 17,000-strong contingent "will be enough to guarantee security" along the border, said Gen Padrino Lopez.
