Dramatic new images from Venezuela depict the moment US forces executed a swift and explosive operation to remove Nicolas Maduro, the authoritarian Venezuelan President targeted by the Trump administration. The operation caused chaos in Caracas, with locals fleeing in fear as explosions rocked the city. President Trump has yet to speak publicly about the operation but is expected to address it later today. Reports from top Venezuelan officials shed light on the events, revealing that Maduro has been indicted in the US on drug trafficking and firearms charges. Venezuela’s attorney general condemned the US strikes as a “terrorist attack,” alleging harm to innocent civilians. Photos and videos from the scene show the aftermath of the raids, including destroyed military complexes and civilian infrastructure. The operation involved US military planes departing from Puerto Rico before carrying out the mission in Venezuela.
