The U.S. Air Force launched large-scale strikes on military targets in Caracas, with explosions reported near Fort Tiuna and air raid sirens across the city. Following the attacks, parts of southern Caracas were left without power, according to Reuters. Videos show strikes on a port and an oil facility with visible detonations. Venezuela declared martial law in Caracas and other cities, with troops detaining civilians near critical infrastructure. Reports also claim the country’s defense minister was killed in a U.S. strike on his residence. Donald Trump stated that the U.S. carried out a successful operation against Venezuela’s leadership, claiming Nicolás Maduro and his wife were captured and removed from the country. Further details are expected at a press conference in Mar-a-Lago.
