The United States says it has carried out military strikes on Venezuela with President Donald Trump claiming Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro has been captured. The dramatic announcement follows a night of explosions across the capital Caracas and several other cities as residents reported loud blasts and heavy military activity sparking fears of a major escalation in the region.

In a statement President Trump described the operation as decisive action against what he called a hostile and illegitimate regime. Trump has long urged Nicolás Maduro to step aside accusing his government of corruption human rights abuses and economic mismanagement that has plunged Venezuela into crisis.

Venezuela’s government has strongly rejected the U.S. claims accusing Washington of launching an invasion under the pretext of restoring democracy. Officials in Caracas say the real motive is control over Venezuela’s vast oil reserves some of the largest in the world and have called on allies to condemn what they describe as blatant aggression.

The situation on the ground remains unclear with conflicting reports about Maduro’s whereabouts and the extent of the damage from the strikes. Airports have reportedly been shut down and security forces are on high alert.

Global leaders are closely monitoring developments warning that further escalation could destabilize Latin America and trigger a wider international crisis. For now tensions remain high and the world is waiting for clarity on what comes next.
