Maduro’s whereabouts unknown, says vice president

Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez stated that the whereabouts of the constitutional head of state, Nicolas Maduro, are unknown following this morning's US attack on the South American country. 

Speaking to the multinational network Telesur, Rodriguez demanded proof of life from Washington for the president and the first lady, Cilia Flores.

The vice president asserted that Maduro had anticipated the possibility of a US attack, knowing what the current administration, headed by Donald Trump, is capable of.

The Venezuelan government denounced the attack on military and civilian sites in Caracas and the states of Miranda, Aragua, and La Guaira.

Trump confirmed a large-scale attack and claimed that President Maduro and Flores had been “captured and left the country.”

Condemnations of the US attack have poured in from around the world.
