Venezuelan VP rejects US strike, defends Maduro's rule

 Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez on Saturday rejected the US military operation that led to the capture of President Nicolas Maduro, insisting he remains the country's only legitimate leader.

Speaking from Caracas, she called the intervention a "grave military aggression" and accused Washington of violating Venezuela's sovereignty.

Rodriguez claimed the attack aimed to seize Venezuela's oil and mineral resources and warned it threatened the peace of Latin America. "Millions demand the immediate release of Nicolas Maduro," she said, adding that the government had activated a state of "external commotion" and would shift to armed resistance if necessary.
