THE Venezuelan government has demanded that the US reveal the whereabouts of President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, following their capture after a military attack in Caracas, Venezuela early on January 3.

Vice-President Delcy Rodríguez said the government did not know where Maduro and his wife were, and demanded "immediate proof of life" for them both.

The country's defence minister, Vladimir Padrino López, in a televised report claimed the strikes hit civilian areas and said the government was compiling information about dead and injured people.
