US EditionNew Details on Maduro Capture Revealed as Hegseth Shares How U.S. Carried Out the Overnight Raid
About 200 U.S. Delta Force commandos executed a surprise raid on Maduro’s Caracas residence, supported by months of CIA intelligence and military rehearsals, Defense Secretary Hegseth said.
- On Monday, Hegseth said U.S. forces conducted an overnight raid at Maduro's residence in Caracas, intercepting him before he reached a safe room.
- Planners rehearsed the operation for months using a replica of Maduro's residence, and CIA personnel had tracked Maduro since August, aided by an agent inside his inner circle, Hegseth said.
- Fighter jets and bombers struck Venezuelan air defenses to clear the way for Delta Force commandos, who then closed on the compound under heavy fire; several U.S. soldiers were injured during the operation.
- A massive U.S. military presence remains off Venezuela's coast, and Cuba's government reported 32 Cuban citizens from Maduro's security detail among the dead.
- American forces are planning to intercept another sanctioned oil tanker they've pursued for months, two U.S. officials said, and officials said the operation's chain functioned effectively.
