Venezuela’s interim leader, Delcy Rodriguez, on Tuesday (January 6, 2025) announced a week of mourning for people killed in the U.S. assault that ousted Nicolas Maduro as its President.

“I have decided to decree seven days of mourning to the honour and glory of the young people, women and men who gave up their lives defending Venezuela and President Nicolas Maduro,” she said on state television.

Cuba and Venezuela said 55 of their military personnel were killed, while Venezuela’s attorney general spoke of “dozens” of civilian and military dead, without giving a breakdown.
