Overview
- An eyewitness interview reshared by Karoline Leavitt alleges U.S. forces used a powerful sound-like device that caused nosebleeds, vomiting blood and collapse among Venezuelan troops.
- The account describes radar systems failing, swarms of drones, roughly eight helicopters and about 20 U.S. soldiers overwhelming hundreds of defenders with precise fire.
- The White House and Pentagon have not confirmed the report or whether Leavitt’s repost signals any official verification.
- Venezuela’s Interior Ministry reports roughly 100 security-force deaths from the raid, with no clarity on whether any fatalities are tied to the alleged device.
- Maduro and Cilia Flores were flown to New York to face charges after the Jan. 3 assault, which U.S. officials and Trump described as a months-in-the-making operation involving extensive air support.
