U.S. military conducts rapid response exercise at embassy in Caracas

The U.S. military conducted a rapid response drill at its recently reopened embassy in Venezuela's capital on Saturday, involving two Marine Corps Osprey aircraft that landed in the embassy parking lot with forces descending from them. The exercise was announced in advance by Venezuela's government and described as preparation for medical or catastrophic emergencies. Some residents gathered to watch while others protested with signs opposing the "Yankee drill."

The split, in one line

Reuters contradicts prior coverage by reporting the U.S. attacked and captured Maduro in January, while PBS/Washington Times described a routine authorized evacuation drill with no mention of prior military action or casualties.
