An operation conducted by the United States aimed at capturing Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro reportedly resulted in the deaths of 32 Cuban nationals in Venezuela, according to statements from the Cuban president’s press service. The Cuban nationals were reportedly carrying out missions at the request of the Venezuelan government, though specific details about their roles or the nature of the operation have not been publicly confirmed.
The incident has drawn attention amid rising tensions between the United States and Venezuela, as well as Cuba’s involvement in regional geopolitics. The Cuban government has not released extensive details but emphasized the loss of its nationals in relation to the military activity.
Earlier, former U.S. President Donald Trump made statements suggesting that “many Cubans” had been killed during the operation, though he did not specify the context or provide additional information. The incident underscores ongoing regional instability and the complex interplay of U.S., Venezuelan, and Cuban interests in the area.
There has been no official U.S. government statement confirming the details of the operation or the casualty figures. As investigations and diplomatic responses continue, the situation remains a focus of regional and international attention.
