Venezuelan soldiers check the identity cards of people at a checkpoint close to the border with Colombia, as part of a special deployment, at San Antonio in Tachira state, Venezuela August 22, 2015. Venezuela's closure of two border crossings with Colombia hurts innocent people, Colombia's President Juan Manuel Santos said on Saturday, adding that he hoped to speak to his Venezuelan counterpart Nicolas Maduro to find a solution. Maduro closed the crossings on Wednesday after a shootout between smugglers and troops left three soldiers wounded. He declared a 60-day state of emergency in five border municipalities on Friday.
