US President Donald Trump on Saturday claimed that American forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife after overnight airstrikes on Caracas. Trump said the pair were taken into custody and flown out of the country. Explosions, fires and power cuts were reported across the capital. Residents saw low-flying aircraft and heard multiple blasts. Venezuela has not confirmed any arrests. The government accused the United States of attacking civilian and military sites and called for public mobilisation. Trump said more details would be shared later.
