Overview

  • Nicolás Maduro remains in U.S. custody in New York on federal narcotics and money-laundering charges following the Caracas raid known as “Resolución Absoluta.”
  • A Venezuelan presidential guard’s testimony, publicized by press secretary Karoline Leavitt, recounts an unexplained radar blackout before U.S. drones and helicopters moved in.
  • The witness says a powerful wave consistent with a sonic or directed‑energy effect caused nosebleeds, bloody vomiting, and loss of mobility among defenders.
  • Reporting describes a large aerial and special-operations footprint, with references to roughly 150 aircraft and more than 200 personnel supporting a small extraction team.
  • U.S. officials have not confirmed the use of any unconventional device, and no independent evidence has been presented to substantiate the weapon claim.
