At least seven explosions, low-flying aircraft, and one column of smoke have been seen in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas, according to eye-witness reports.

The southern area of the capital, near a major military base, was also without electricity.

Venezuela’s government did not immediately reply to AP’s request for comment.

The cause and and precise locations of the disturbances were not immediately clear.

Update: US President Donald Trump says the US has captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

    Hopefully this ends up just being another relatively minor step in the progression of this conflict, but (probable) air raids on another nations capital does sound like something that could escalate quickly.
