Rubio said the United States does not expect further military action in Venezuela.

He explained this follows the arrest of President Nicolás Maduro.

Senator Mike Lee said Secretary of State Marco Rubio told him the operation was limited to enforcing an arrest warrant.

Moreover, Rubio confirmed no additional action is planned now that Maduro is in U.S. custody.

Maduro is expected to face criminal charges in the United States.

Meanwhile, U.S. forces carried out overnight air and missile strikes in Caracas. They targeted areas near strategic sites, including La Carlota air base and locations near the presidential palace.

Residents reported explosions, low-flying aircraft, and smoke across parts of the capital.

The U.S. administration described the strikes as a narrowly focused mission. They said it was linked directly to the arrest, not the start of a wider campaign.

However, Senator Lee questioned the constitutional basis for the action. He said he was seeking clarity on how it could be justified without a formal declaration of war or authorization for military force.

The arrest marks a major escalation in tensions between Washington and Caracas. It is an unprecedented move against a sitting head of state.

U.S. authorities have long accused Maduro of narcotics trafficking, corruption, and human rights abuses.

Furthermore, officials have not said when or where Maduro will stand trial. They also have not confirmed whether other Venezuelan officials could face arrest.

Regional governments continue to monitor developments closely.

In conclusion, Rubio emphasized that the operation is complete and no further strikes are planned.

The U.S. remains focused on legal proceedings for Maduro while watching regional reactions.

Overall, the mission demonstrates a limited military action tied strictly to the arrest warrant.
