The operation involved over 150 US aircraft to disable air defenses before ground forces captured Maduro and his wife, with Trump stating the US would govern Venezuela during a transition period. Maduro faces serious drug trafficking allegations, prompting criticism of the operation for violating international law and risking regional instability. No official casualty figures have been confirmed by the White House or Pentagon.
