U.S. Operation Captures Venezuelan President Maduro: Inside the Mission at Fuerte Tiuna
President Trump announced that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife were apprehended and removed from the country in a significant U.S. operation. The operation, which involved a CIA source within Venezuela's government, led to the capture of Maduro at Fuerte Tiuna, the country's largest military complex in Caracas. The U.S. strikes at Fuerte Tiuna resulted in damage to vehicles and equipment, as shown in satellite images before and after the operation. The Army's Delta Force, a special operations unit, carried out the mission to capture Maduro, despite facing gunfire during the operation. Ultimately, Maduro and his wife surrendered and were taken into custody by U.S. forces and the FBI.
