The article describes a detailed plan for a strike on Caracas and an attempt to capture President Nicolás Maduro.
According to the Pentagon, the operation involved over 150 military aircraft, including fighters and bombers, which took off from 20 different bases and U.S. Navy ships.
The operation began with a cyberattack that led to a power outage in a significant part of Caracas, allowing American aviation to approach the city unnoticed.
Following this, airstrikes were carried out on the capital of Venezuela. A U.S. administration representative clarified that the main targets were radar installations and transmission towers.
The detention of Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, according to The New York Times, was carried out by elite Delta Force operatives. A rehearsal for the operation took place on a replica of Maduro's residence built in Kentucky. Information about the president's movements was gathered by a group of CIA agents operating in Caracas for several months.
U.S. President Donald Trump previously stated that there were no casualties among American military personnel during the operation.
