US military strikes Venezuela on Saturday morning and removes communist leader from country.

On Saturday morning, January 3, 2026, a series of explosions in Caracas and other cities in Venezuela signal the start of the US campaign against the socialist regime of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro.

Low-flying aircraft could be heard, as well as air raid sirens.

Bright flashes were seen in at least six locations, including Fort Tiuna army base and La Carlota Air Base, where power outages affected some neighborhoods.
