Venezuela News | Shots Fired Near Venezuela Presidential Palace Hours After Delcy Rodriquez Sworn In

Shots were fired late Monday near Venezuela's presidential palace, witnesses said, days after US forces captured the now-deposed president Nicolas Maduro in a military raid. A source close to the government said the situation was under control. Unidentified drones flew over the Miraflores palace in central Caracas and security forces opened fire in response around 8:00 pm (0000 GMT), the source said, hours after Maduro's deputy Delcy Rodriguez was sworn in as interim president following his removal. Bursts of gunfire rang out, but not as strong as in the pre-dawn attack Saturday that toppled Maduro, according to a person who lives five blocks from the palace, who said the incident lasted about a minute.
