Gunfire Near Venezuela’s Presidential Palace Raises Tensions Days After Nicolás Maduro’s Arrest In US

Gunfire Near Venezuela’s Presidential Palace Raises Tensions Days After Nicolás Maduro’s Arrest In US

Gunfire near Venezuela’s seat of power late Monday and again on Tuesday has intensified uncertainty in Caracas, coming just days after former president Nicolás Maduro was detained and transferred to the United States to face criminal charges. Late on Monday night, gunfire was reported in the vicinity of the Miraflores presidential palace in Caracas, triggering widespread concern and speculation. Shots Fired Near Venezuela’s Miraflores Palace Videos obtained by CNN showed flashes lighting up the sky, which appeared consistent with drone activity and anti-aircraft fire. The incident unfolded only days after Nicolás Maduro was taken into custody and flown to the United States, adding to the sense of political instability. The White House was quick to respond, firmly rejecting any suggestion of American involvement. US officials said Washington had no role in the shooting and was closely monitoring developments on the ground, as per India Today. CNN later clarified that the gunfire resulted from a “misunderstanding,” with preliminary reports indicating confusion among paramilitary units tasked with guarding the presidential complex. Venezuelan authorities did not immediately release a detailed account, but security around the palace was visibly tightened following the incident. More Gunfire Reported On Tuesday Concerns resurfaced on Tuesday when additional shots were heard near the palace, according to the Associated Press. Witnesses said drones were seen flying overhead at around 8:00 pm local time as security forces opened fire in the surrounding area. Authorities later stated that the situation was under control and there was no ongoing threat. Maduro Appears In US Court As Political Fallout Grows Earlier on Monday, Nicolás Maduro arrived in New York City under heavy security. Handcuffed and escorted by armed federal agents, he was transported by helicopter and spent the night in a Brooklyn detention facility before being moved to a Manhattan courthouse. On Tuesday, Maduro and his wife appeared in court, where they pleaded not guilty to drug and weapons charges. During the proceedings, Maduro claimed he had been abducted in Caracas. In Venezuela, the political vacuum left by his absence led to swift action. Close ally Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in as acting president, while US President Donald Trump declared that he viewed himself as the rightful authority over Venezuela. The arrest also drew criticism in the United States. New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemned the operation, describing it as a violation of federal and international law.

'Have To Fix The Country First': Trump Says No Election In Venezuela In Next 30 Days

US President Donald Trump on Monday said Venezuela will not hold new elections within the next 30 days, insisting that the country must first be stabilised following the capture of its leader Nicolas Maduro. Trump, speaking to NBC News, maintained that the United States is not at war with Venezuela, even as Washington deepens its involvement in the crisis-hit Latin American nation. Stabilisation In Venezuela Will Take Time: Trump “We have to fix the country first. You can’t have an election. There’s no way the people could even vote,” Trump said, adding that stabilisation would take time. “We have to nurse the country back to health.” His remarks came two days after US forces seized Maduro and his wife in Caracas and flew them to New York, where the Venezuelan leader was questioned over alleged crimes, including narco-terrorism and cocaine trafficking. Maduro has pleaded not guilty and continues to claim he remains Venezuela’s legitimate president. Rodríguez Sworn In As Interim President Meanwhile, Vice President Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in on Monday as interim president following Maduro’s capture. Trump said the US could assist in rebuilding Venezuela’s oil and energy infrastructure, suggesting American oil companies may play a key role in restoring the sector. “It’ll be a lot of money,” Trump said, adding that companies could initially fund the work and later be reimbursed through government support or revenue. The US president again rejected suggestions that the operation amounted to a war. “No, we’re not,” Trump said when asked directly. Instead, he said the US was fighting drug trafficking networks and criminal groups. “We’re at war with people that sell drugs… that empty their prisons and mental institutions into our country,” he said. Trump said a group of senior officials would oversee US involvement in Venezuela, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance, and Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller. Trump's Fresh Warning He also warned that the US was prepared to carry out another military operation if cooperation falters. “We’re prepared to do it. We anticipated doing it,” Trump said, adding that he did not believe congressional approval was required for further action. Despite criticism from some allies, Trump said he remained confident of domestic political backing. “MAGA loves it. MAGA loves what I’m doing,” he said.

Black holes are twisting the universe: New discovery shows Einstein was right

Astronomers have observed a distant star being torn apart by a supermassive black hole, revealing a surprising wobble in the resulting disc and jets. This phenomenon, matching Einstein's century-old prediction of 'frame dragging,' provides compelling evidence that spinning black holes twist spacetime itself, influencing cosmic events and refining our understanding of galactic evolution.

'I Am Still President': Maduro Says He Was 'Kidnapped'; US Rejects Regime Change In Venezuela

'I Am Still President': Maduro Says He Was 'Kidnapped'; US Rejects Regime Change In Venezuela

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Monday proclaimed himself “the president of my country” as he pleaded not guilty to sweeping federal drug trafficking charges in a US courtroom, accusing Washington of capturing him to justify his removal from power. Speaking through a Spanish interpreter during a brief court appearance in Manhattan, the Venezuelan leader said, “I was captured,” before being cut off by the judge. When asked to enter his plea, Maduro responded: “I’m innocent. I am not guilty. I am a decent man, the president of my country.” Charges, Courtroom Appearance And Next Hearing Maduro has denied all charges listed in the indictment, which include four counts, such as narco-terrorism conspiracy and possession of machine guns and destructive devices. The appearance marked his first time in court since he and his wife were seized from their home in a dramatic overnight military operation. The case is being described as the most consequential US prosecution of a foreign head of state in decades. Wearing a blue jail uniform, Maduro was led into court alongside his wife shortly before noon. Both wore headsets as the proceedings were translated into Spanish. The hearing was procedural, but legally required. His next court date has been scheduled for March 17. No Regime Change In Venezuela  The prosecution is unfolding against the backdrop of an audacious US-engineered power shift that President Donald Trump has said would allow his administration to “run” Venezuela. US Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche defended the operation, telling NBC News that the United States had “an absolute legal right” to arrest Maduro. He insisted the capture was not an invasion and did not violate international law. House Speaker Mike Johnson also rejected suggestions of regime change, saying the objective was not to install troops or directly govern Venezuela, but to force a change in how the country is ruled. Shots Fired Near Presidential Palace Hours after Maduro’s court appearance, shots were fired near Venezuela’s presidential palace in Caracas, according to witnesses and a source cited by AFP. The government said the situation was under control and later clarified that security forces had opened fire after unidentified drones were sighted flying over the Miraflores Palace around 8:00 pm local time. No casualties were reported.
