- No Bullet Fired Operation in Venezuela
- Caracas Security Paralysed
- A midnight operation
Article Today, America:
The belief that abducting a sitting head of state is possible only in cinema was challenged on the night of January 3. What unfolded in Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, appeared more dramatic than a Hollywood action film. Questions arose over how United States forces allegedly entered one of the world’s most secure presidential complexes and why Venezuelan defences failed to respond.
Technology at the Centre
According to the account, the operation relied heavily on advanced technology. Power supply across Caracas was reportedly disrupted through cyber means. Communication networks were paralysed, leaving security forces confused. In the darkness, elite American commandos allegedly moved into position without resistance.
Silent Aerial Entry
At the same time, advanced F-35 stealth fighter aircraft were said to have entered Venezuelan airspace. These jets are designed to evade radar detection. Their presence reportedly neutralised air defence systems, ensuring uninterrupted movement for ground teams involved in the mission.
Echoes of Earlier Raids
The mission, described as “Operation Absolute Resolve,” was compared to the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden. Analysts cited in the account claimed that the precision and secrecy reflected a similar level of planning. The objective, it was said, was to capture Nicolás Maduro without bloodshed.
Breaching the Palace
Commandos allegedly used gas cutters to breach reinforced doors of the presidential residence. Within seconds, they entered the complex. The narrative claims that no shots were fired and that the operation was completed without injuries to US personnel.
Trump’s Approval
Four days earlier, former US President Donald Trump reportedly approved the mission. Military advisers, however, waited for favourable weather conditions. On Friday night at 10:46 pm, the final clearance was allegedly given, after which coordinated air movements began from multiple US bases.
Guards Rendered Unconscious
The account further states that drones released a special sedative gas around the palace perimeter. Hundreds of bodyguards reportedly lost consciousness. Taking advantage of the situation, US Navy SEALs entered the building and restrained Maduro.
Command Breakdown
Venezuela’s military, despite its size, allegedly failed to respond due to cyber attacks on command centres. Coordination between officers collapsed. Airports and key roads were said to be controlled by US drones, preventing any rescue attempt.
Months of Surveillance
The report claims that the operation was preceded by six months of intelligence gathering. Daily routines, security shifts and interior layouts were allegedly studied in detail. A replica of the presidential residence was reportedly constructed inside the Pentagon for training purposes.
Global Implications
Through this operation, the United States was portrayed as sending a strong message about its reach and capabilities. While countries such as Russia reportedly criticised the move as a violation of international law, Trump was quoted as defending it as necessary for American security.
Protests and Tensions
Following the incident, protests reportedly broke out in several US cities. Demonstrators condemned the action as interference in another nation’s sovereignty, while Trump supporters defended it. Tensions were also reported in parts of Venezuela, adding to global concern over the episode.
