The US has carried out a major military operation.
U.S. President Donald Trump has confirmed that Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and his wife were flown to the U.S. Navy’s Wasp class amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima following their capture overnight.
During the operation, explosions were heard in Caracas, the Venezuelan capital, and in other areas, indicating that US forces carried out attacks on key targets.
According to Trump, “He was in a house that was more like a fortress than a house. It had steel doors, it had what they call a safety space, where it’s solid steel all around. He was trying to get into it, but he got bum rushed so fast that he didn’t.”
Trump noted that U.S. forces had “blowtorches” and other equipment they were prepared to use if Maduro had been able to make it into that secure space.
As per reports like from CBS News , the mission was carried out by Delta Force, the US military’s top special mission unit.
