On Saturday morning, January 3, 2026, a series of explosions in Caracas and other cities in Venezuela signal the start of the US campaign against the socialist regime of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro.

Low-flying aircraft could be heard, as well as air raid sirens.

Bright flashes could be seen in at least six locations, including Fort Tiuna army base and La Carlota Air Base, where power outages hit some neighborhoods.

Paul Serran reported earlier: At least seven explosions and low-flying aircraft were heard around 2 a.m. local time Saturday in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas.

TGP’s Jordan Conradson reported that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife have been indicted in the Southern District of New York following his capture during a US military operation in the middle of the night.

“Nicolas Maduro has been charged with Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy, Cocaine Importation Conspiracy, Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices, and Conspiracy to Possess Machineguns and Destructive Devices against the United States,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said.

Explosions were reported across Venezuela’s capital, Caracas, early this morning.

And, now it is widely expected that Nobel Peace Prize Winner Maria Corina Machado will take control of Venezuela following the removal of its communist dictatar.

The New York Post reported that Corina Machado and fellow Nobel Prize winner Edmundo González could lead a transitional government in the South American country, according to an expert on Caracas.

Maria Corina Machado had to flee the communist regime in December by speedboat to attend her Nobel Prize ceremony.
