From Fox News: A Venezuelan official is claiming that 100 people were killed in the U.S. operation to capture President Nicolás Maduro.
Venezuela’s interior minister, Diosdado Cabello, announced the figure late Wednesday, according to Reuters, which added that Venezuela’s army posted a list of 23 names of its dead.
Cuba’s official mouthpiece for its ruling Communist Party also confirmed Tuesday that 32 members of its armed forces were killed during the U.S. military operation over the weekend.
Cabello also said the Maduros were injured during the arrest operation.
Maduro reportedly suffered a leg injury, and his wife, Cilia Flores, sustained a head injury.
Venezuela’s interim President Delcy Rodriguez has declared a week of mourning for the military members who died, it added.
According to the U.S. Department of War, no civilians were injured as far as they can tell.
“We are currently not aware of any civilian casualties,” a department official told Fox News Digital. “Every strike was precisely planned to achieve operational objectives, and at no point were civilians intentionally targeted.”
