Caracas: Seven US soldiers were injured during the operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicol¡s Maduro.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, an Administrative official informed Fox News that five of the injured soldiers have already returned to duty, while the other two are still receiving treatment.

He mentioned that the soldiers are receiving excellent medical care, highlighting that the successful execution of this complex mission with minimal injuries demonstrates the competence of the joint forces. The operation, named "Operation Inherent Resolve," was carried out on Saturday when forces landed in Caracas during a covert mission to target Venezuelan territory and capture Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.

The operation, led by the U.S. Army's Delta Force, resulted in the deaths of 24 Venezuelan security personnel and 32 Cuban military and police officers who were guarding Maduro. General Dan Keane, Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, stated that U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the operation on Friday evening, involving 150 aircraft, including B-1 Lancer bombers and helicopters, launched from 20 different bases.

U.S. intelligence agencies had been tracking Maduro's movements for several months before the operation, which began at 2:10 a.m. and lasted about two and a half hours. Despite one helicopter being damaged, it remained airworthy. In addition, the United States executed a cyberattack that caused widespread power outages in Caracas and disrupted the city's communications network.

Following their capture, Maduro and his wife were transferred to New York to face federal charges of drug trafficking and financing drug-related terrorism.
