In an early morning announcement, U.S. President Donald Trump has reported a successful American-led military operation against Venezuela. According to Trump, the operation resulted in the capture of President Nicolás Maduro, who has reportedly been removed from the country. This operation sparked an array of explosions across Caracas and other regions, accompanied by low-flying aircraft sightings and power outages. The Venezuelan government has accused the United States of serious military attacks on both civilian and military targets, declaring a state of emergency and implementing national defense plans. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has also banned U.S. commercial flights from Venezuelan airspace due to the ongoing military activity. No independent confirmation or official commentary from the U.S. Department of Defense has been made available as of yet.
