Chaos and uncertainty grip Caracas following a purported U.S. special forces operation targeting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. According to RT, which had a team on the ground, the raid has left military installations damaged and the civilian population reeling. Details remain sketchy, but the Russian-backed news network paints a picture of a city paralyzed by fear and dwindling supplies.
US Raid in Venezuela: Shocking Aftermath Revealed!...
RT senior correspondent Murad Gazdiev reported live from Caracas as the situation unfolded. His reports include exclusive footage of the aftermath, including scenes from the Fuerte Tiuna military base, allegedly the site of Maduro's capture. It's worth noting that RT's reporting often aligns with the Kremlin's geopolitical interests, so approaching this information with a critical eye is definitely warranted.
Gazdiev's on-the-ground reports described restricted access to Fuerte Tiuna due to a heavy police presence. "This is Fuerte Tiuna," he reported, "Initially a military base, it has grown into a district of the city with public housing. This is where Nicolas Maduro and his wife were seized in a raid by U.S. special forces.” Smoke could reportedly still be seen rising from the location hours after the alleged operation.
The RT team also documented the destruction elsewhere in the capital. Gazdiev showed viewers the remains of what he described as an armored personnel carrier, destroyed during the night strikes. "You can see downed power lines, multiple destroyed buses, and a gutted armored personnel carrier still burning, twelve hours after the strike," he stated in his report.
Adding fuel to the fire, President Trump has reportedly declared the operation, dubbed "Absolute Resolve," as a "regime-change" mission. This kind of rhetoric, regardless of the veracity of the claims of military action, does little to ease tensions. What's really unsettling is the impact on ordinary Venezuelans. Gazdiev reported widespread closures of businesses and a frantic rush to secure essential supplies.
"Nobody understands how long this is going to last… this panic, this fear," Gazdiev observed, noting that nearly all shops and supermarkets in Caracas are closed. He filmed long queues at one of the few pharmacies still operating, with people "clearing everything off the shelves – water, medicine, toilet paper, everything that’s left." A police officer was reportedly stationed at the entrance to prevent looting, which is a worrying sign.
The situation remains fluid, and independent verification of RT's claims is difficult. We will continue to follow this story closely and provide updates as they become available. RT.com has published the full article and videos.
