U.S. Forces Attack Caracas, Capital of Venezuela
The southern part of Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, was targeted by several missile strikes. Electricity was cut off in the area near the military base in southern Caracas, the capital of Venezuela. It is reported that Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, was hit by missile attacks and about 10 locations in the city were struck.
Reports indicate that CH-47G Chinook helicopters belonging to the 160th SOAR (160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment of the U.S. Army) were observed near Caracas, the capital of Venezuela. The 160th SOAR would be responsible for transporting and deploying ground special forces in the event of any military operation or possible invasion.
Another report mentions secondary explosions following a U.S. strike on what appears to have been an ammunition depot in Venezuela. These successive explosions may indicate that weapons stockpiles were hit.
It has been claimed that the residence of Venezuela’s Minister of Defense was targeted by a U.S. attack. No further details were provided, and Venezuelan officials have not yet issued an official response to this claim.
Reuters has claimed that Nicolás Maduro, President of Venezuela, has fallen. According to this report, U.S. special forces are currently present in the capital of the country. This news has not yet been confirmed by Venezuela’s official sources, and international media are closely monitoring developments in the country.
