(NewsNation) —The number of confirmed dead in Venezuela has risen to 56 following a U.S. strike and the capture of President Nicolás Maduro.
Officials said on Tuesday at least 24 Venezuelan security officials were killed in the attack, along with a confirmed 32 Cuban military and police officers.
The total number killed may rise, with Venezuelan Attorney General Tarek William Saab saying “dozens” were killed and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller saying that the U.S. believes Cuba is undercounting the number of dead.
Nearly 200 U.S. personnel were involved in the operation. The White House says some were injured, but there were no fatalities.
The Pentagon has not provided details regarding the number of personnel injured or what type of injuries they sustained.
The exact plan for governing Venezuela remains unclear, with President Donald Trump saying the U.S. would “run” Venezuela in a press conference following the strike and other GOP leaders saying they did not expect troop deployment in the country.
In the days since Maduro’s capture, Trump has touted the success of the operation and suggested he could take similar actions in other countries, including Cuba, Mexico, Colombia and Greenland.
