CNN reported on the injuries of Maduro and his wife during his abduction

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Celia Flores suffered head injuries during the capture by American troops. This was reported on January 6 by CNN, citing sources.

"Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Celia Flores, were injured when they hit their heads while fleeing from American troops who tried to arrest them," the article says.

According to the channel's interlocutors, at the time of the operation, Maduro and Flores tried to hide inside the complex, hiding behind a heavy steel door. At the same time, because of the low doorway, both hit their heads. After leaving the building, they were detained by fighters of the American Delta special forces, who provided first aid on the spot.

CNN sources note that the US administration described Celia Flores' head injury as minor.
