US officials told the New York Times that the attack involved a large-scale air campaign aimed at disabling Venezuela's air defenses before deploying ground forces.

"More than 150 US aircraft were sent to destroy air defense systems so that military helicopters could transfer troops that attacked Maduro's position," the report added, as reported by RTS.
