Trump revealed on Saturday that the United States may have used cyberattacks or other technical means to cut off the power supply to Caracas during the air strike on the Venezuelan capital and the successful capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. If true, this will be one of the most typical cases of the United States openly using cyber warfare against other countries in recent years. Such cyber military operations are often classified as highly classified, and the United States is regarded as one of the most advanced countries in the world in terms of cyber warfare capabilities.
"It was pitch dark, and the power supply to Caracas was basically cut off, thanks to a certain technical advantage we had. The night was dark, and the operation was extremely deadly." Trump said in detail about the operation at a press conference at Mar-a-Lago.
Gen. Dan Cain, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, said at the same press conference that U.S. Cyber Command, Space Command and various combat commands "coordinated to superimpose multiple combat effects" and opened an "operational channel" for the U.S. military to fly into Venezuela early on Saturday morning. Kane did not elaborate on what these "operational effects" would include.
