Gunshots were heard near Venezuela’s presidential palace late Monday night, according to multiple eyewitnesses. The incident comes just days after a military operation in which the United States reportedly took President Nicolás Maduro and his wife into custody on Saturday.

A source close to the government said that although the president was removed two days ago, the overall situation in Venezuela remains under control.

Following Maduro’s removal, his deputy, Delcy Rodríguez, was appointed interim president. The same source said that a few hours after Rodríguez was sworn in, an unidentified drone flew over the Miraflores Palace in central Caracas at around 8:00 pm local time on Monday (12:00 am GMT). Security forces responded by opening fire.

A resident living about five blocks from the palace said continuous gunfire could be heard at the time, though it was not as intense as the U.S. attack reported early Saturday morning. He estimated the shooting lasted for about a minute.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, the witness said he initially thought an aircraft might be flying overhead. “I looked up to check, but there was no plane. I only saw two red lights in the sky. People were looking out of their windows, trying to understand what was happening,” he said.

AFP attempted to contact Venezuela’s Ministry of Communication for comment, but there was no immediate response.

Videos shared on social media appeared to show tracer-like gunfire lighting up the sky. The footage also showed a large number of security personnel rushing toward the presidential palace after the shots were fired.
