Large part of Maduro’s security team killed in US action: Venezuela defense minister

A large part of erstwhile President Nicolas Maduro’s security team was killed in the US raid that led to the leader’s Saturday capture, Venezuelan Defense Minister General Vladimir Padrino said in a televised statement on Sunday morning.
Padrino did not give an exact figure of causalities, but backed the declaration of Vice President Delcy Rodriguez as interim president and said the armed forces have been activated across the country to guarantee sovereignty.
