Breaking: U.S. Says Venezuelan President Maduro Captured After Military Strikes

CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has reportedly been captured and flown out of the country, U.S. President Donald Trump announced early Saturday, following what he described as a large-scale U.S. military operation.

In a social media statement, Trump said that U.S. forces carried out a “large-scale strike against Venezuela and its leader” and successfully detained Maduro and his wife. He indicated that a formal statement would be provided later Saturday morning.

Explosions and reports of military activity were reported in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas, and other areas, according to eyewitness accounts. Several blasts were heard near military installations, and low-flying aircraft were observed over the city.


Venezuelan Government Response

Prior to Trump’s announcement, the Venezuelan government had condemned what it described as military aggression by the United States. Caracas declared a state of emergency and reported explosions and smoke near strategic installations, including in the states of Miranda, Aragua, and La Guaira.

Officials have not independently confirmed Maduro’s capture, and the Venezuelan authorities have yet to issue details regarding his location or status following the U.S. operation.


U.S. Military Action

According to U.S. statements, the strikes targeted key military and government facilities in Venezuela. The Pentagon deferred detailed comments to the White House, which has emphasized that the operation was part of ongoing efforts to address security threats posed by the Venezuelan leadership.


International Reaction

Global leaders and foreign ministries are monitoring the situation. Several governments have called for calm and verification of the reports before drawing conclusions. Independent international observers have not confirmed the claims of Maduro’s capture or the full scope of the military activity.


Key Facts So Far

  • U.S. President Donald Trump announced Maduro’s capture and removal from Venezuela.

  • Explosions and military activity were reported in Caracas early Saturday.

  • Venezuelan authorities condemned the strikes as aggression and declared a state of emergency.

  • There is no independent confirmation from neutral observers or international agencies.


Status
