The United States has carried out large-scale military strikes in Venezuela, including in the capital, Caracas.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife have been captured and flown out of the country. “The United States of America has successfully carried out a large-scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolás Maduro,” Trump said.

Multiple international news agencies, including CBS News, Reuters, and Euronews, are reporting the strikes and the U.S. claim of Maduro’s capture.

The Venezuelan government has not yet independently confirmed these events. On the international stage, several countries, including Brazil, Colombia, and Cuba, have condemned the U.S. strikes, calling them a violation of Venezuela’s sovereignty.

Details about casualties, the exact location of Maduro, and broader military operations remain limited and developing. A U.S. news conference is expected to provide further information.

This is a breaking international event, and updates will follow as new information becomes available.
