Gunshots and fierce clashes erupted near Venezuela’s Miraflores presidential palace in Caracas, sparking panic across the capital, according to media accounts. Officials insisted the situation was under control, even as uncertainty hung thick over the city. The violence unfolded just hours after Vice President Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in as interim president, following the dramatic downfall of Nicolás Maduro, who appeared in a New York federal court on drug charges after a U.S. operation led to his capture over the weekend.
