 "US used mystery weapon during Maduro raid: 'Venezuelan soldiers bled from the nose, vomited blood'")
Days after the United States captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in a shocking military operation, details of what happened on the fateful day are starting to emerge. According to a witness account shared on Saturday on X by the White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, the US used a “powerful mystery weapon” that “brought Venezuelan soldiers to their knees, bleeding through the nose” and vomiting blood.”
In a jaw-dropping interview, the guard operating in Venezuela at the time of the attack recalled how American forces wiped out hundreds of fighters without losing a single soldier. He mentioned that the US soldiers used technology unlike anything he has ever seen — or heard.
“We were on guard, but suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation,” the guard told The New York Post. “The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn’t know how to react.” He mentioned that moments later, a handful of helicopters appeared — “barely eight”, by his count — deploying what he estimated were just 20 US troops into the area.

He described how the few men came armed with something far more powerful than guns, referring to it as a “mystery weapon”. “They were technologically very advanced,” the guard recalled. “They didn’t look like anything we’ve fought against before.” What followed next was a “slaughter”.

The guard noted that the weapon still haunts him. The recollection of the eyewitness was eventually shared by Leavitt, with the caption: “Stop what you are doing and read this…”
