The United States has captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in a covert military operation named Operation Absolute Resolve. After months of surveillance inside Venezuela, US forces launched a coordinated assault involving more than 150 aircraft from 20 bases across the Western Hemisphere. Air defences were struck, and power was cut in parts of Caracas before Delta Force troops raided Maduro’s compound. Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, surrendered without a prolonged standoff. They were extracted by helicopter and flown to the USS Iwo Jima, then transferred via Guantanamo Bay to New York, where Maduro now faces federal charges including narco-terrorism.
