BREAKING: U.S. troops capture Maduro in a bold attack—Venezuela is in chaos after explosions shake Caracas!

United States, Thekabarnews.com – In a shocking rise in tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela, President Donald Trump said early Saturday that the U.S. military had captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, and flown them out of the country after a series of powerful strikes on important military targets in Caracas.

Trump’s post on social media said that the “large-scale strike” involved several explosions and the deployment of U.S. troops. Videos online show fires and smoke rising from places like the Fuerte Tiuna military complex and La Carlota airbase.

The operation, which was supposedly done with the help of U.S. law enforcement and elite Delta Force units, led to the capture of Maduro and Flores and their removal from Venezuela. The U.S. Attorney General, Pam Bondi, announced that the United States will charge both Maduro and Flores with drug trafficking and narco-terrorism crimes.

Emergency declarations, explosions, and power outages

Early Saturday morning, people in Caracas heard loud explosions, lost power, and saw planes flying low over the capital. Some people said it was the worst night of violence they had ever seen. The Venezuelan government declared a national state of emergency, and the state media and officials called the U.S. strikes an illegal act of aggression.

Vice President Delcy Rodríguez asked for proof of life for Maduro and Flores right away, saying that the government did not know where they were after the operation.

Reactions around the world and their effects in the region

The world has reacted strongly to the crisis that is happening. Russia and Iran condemned the U.S. action, calling it a violation of Venezuelan sovereignty. Kaja Kallas, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, stressed the importance of following international law, even though she said again that Maduro is not a legitimate leader.

This operation is the most direct U.S. military action in Latin America since the 1989 invasion of Panama, which raises serious concerns about the region’s stability and the precedent set by taking a sitting foreign head of state.

Strategic interests and oil infrastructure

Despite the intense military operation, reports indicate that Venezuela’s oil production facilities escaped significant damage. People who know about the country’s state-run oil company, PDVSA, say that the main production and refining infrastructure is still in excellent shape, but the ports did get a lot of damage from strikes that were related to the company.

After months of increasing U.S. pressure on Caracas, including naval deployments, seizures of Venezuelan tankers, and targeted strikes on suspected drug-smuggling routes, this news comes. Critics have raised questions about the legality and escalation of the U.S. campaign, especially since Congress did not approve it.

As the situation changes, international observers say that the crisis could have big effects on diplomatic relations, regional security, and global energy markets. As world leaders respond and more information comes out of Caracas, stay tuned for updates.
