Seven U.S. service members were injured during Saturday's U.S. military operation in Venezuela that captured Nicolás Maduro and his wife, a Pentagon official told MS Now on Wednesday.

Two of the seven are still recovering, while five have recovered from their injuries sustained in the operation dubbed "Absolute Resolve."

"The fact that this extremely complex and grueling mission was successfully executed with so few injuries is a testament to the expertise of our joint warriors," the official said.

The official said an assessment of casualties on the ground was still ongoing and is being led by the U.S. intelligence community.

Venezuelan officials previously told MS Now that more than 70 people were killed in the raid.

Special operations forces from multiple service branches and more than 150 military aircraft were involved in the capture of Maduro.

U.S. President Donald Trump said the military action was conducted in coordination with American law enforcement authorities, according to a post on Truth Social on Saturday.

Cuba said on Monday that 32 of its citizens were killed during the operation, adding that those individuals were carrying out missions for Cuba's armed forces and interior ministry. The statement was posted by Cuba's presidential office on Facebook.

The U.S. strikes followed weeks of military buildup in the region and repeated threats by Trump against Maduro.

The deposed leader appeared in a New York court on Monday, where he said he had been "kidnapped" with his wife by U.S. forces from his home in Caracas and described himself as a "prisoner of war." He pleaded not guilty to drug trafficking charges.
