Venezuela’s Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello has called on citizens to remain calm following U.S. airstrikes on Caracas and surrounding areas, as Washington confirmed the capture of President Nicolás Maduro. Speaking from the capital after inspecting damage, Cabello described the strikes as a “criminal terrorist attack” targeting military facilities, infrastructure, and civilians. He said security forces and the military were fully deployed and prepared to respond to any threat to national stability. Footage from La Carlota airport showed scorched areas after explosions and low-flying aircraft were reported. Cabello urged the public to trust the country’s political and military leadership, warning against panic and framing the crisis as an attack on Venezuela’s sovereignty and peace.
