US EditionVenezuela’s Maduro Captured and Flown Out of Country After Large-Scale U.S. Attack, Trump Says
The U.S. military captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife after a strike targeting drug trafficking and narco-terrorism, with at least 107 killed in related operations, officials said.
- The United States carried out a large-scale strike, and President Donald Trump said on Truth Social shortly after 4.30am Florida time that President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores were captured and flown out on January 3, 2026.
- After months of pressure and maritime strikes, U.S. officials had attacked suspected drug-running boats since early September and offered a $50 million reward alongside 2020 U.S. Justice Department indictments.
- Video verified by The Associated Press showed tracers, smoke and at least seven explosions in Caracas, Venezuela, with the attack lasting less than 30 minutes and the FAA banning U.S. commercial flights.
- Venezuela's government declared a state of external disturbance and mobilization, while Cuba, Iran, Russia condemned the strikes and India issued advisories for its nationals.
- Lawmakers and legal experts immediately questioned Congress notification as a CBS News poll found 70% oppose military action, while Senators debated constitutional authority for the strikes.
