US President Donald Trump announced the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, following a "large-scale strike" and a "brilliant operation" by the US military's elite Delta Force. The operation, reportedly named "Operation Southern Spear," involved simultaneous strikes on military targets in Caracas. Delta Force, officially known as 1st SFOD-D, is a secretive special mission unit specializing in counterterrorism, hostage rescue, and capturing high-value targets. This event marks a significant direct takeover of a head of state by US Special Forces.
