In early January 2026, Venezuela experienced a series of dramatic events involving multiple explosions and the presence of low-flying aircraft in its capital, Caracas.
The Events of January 3, 2026
7 Explosions: At approximately 2:00 a.m. local time on Saturday, January 3, at least seven major explosions rocked Caracas. Residents reported that the ground shook and plumes of smoke were visible rising from key locations, including Fort Tiuna (a major military garrison) and La Carlota airbase.
Low-Flying Aircraft: Simultaneously, low-flying military aircraft and helicopters (including CH-47 Chinooks and attack helicopters) were heard and seen across the city. Reports indicated that the U.S. military utilized advanced stealth fighters like F-22s and F-35s to establish air dominance during the strike.
Operation "Absolute Resolve": These strikes were part of a U.S. military operation. The primary objective was the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. Following the explosions, U.S. Special Forces (Delta Force) reportedly captured Maduro at his residence within Fort Tiuna.
Background and Context
Destroyed Aircraft: In the days leading up to the raid, there were conflicting reports regarding destroyed aircraft. While Maduro claimed his forces had downed planes linked to drug trafficking near the borders, the U.S. operation effectively neutralized much of Venezuela's air defense network during the 30-minute strike.
Escalation: The operation followed months of tension, including a U.S. naval blockade aimed at stopping drug trafficking and oil exports. The U.S. government justified the intervention by labeling the Maduro administration a "narcoterrorist" organization.
Aftermath: Following the capture, Maduro was reportedly transported to a U.S. Navy vessel (the USS Iwo Jima) to face prosecution in the United States. In Venezuela, a state of emergency was declared, and Vice President Delcy Rodríguez called for citizens to take to the streets in protest.
