American helicopters were spotted over Caracas: See the map of Venezuelan airspace at that time.

The attacks targeted the southern districts of Caracas—specifically the Fort Tiuna district and the Generalissimo Francisco de Miranda airfield. According to preliminary reports, at least ten sites in the capital were attacked.

The La Guaira naval base in Vargas State in the north of the country, which houses the Naval Academy, was also attacked, and power was lost there.
