This is Not a Video of People Celebrating Maduro’s Capture

Following the U.S. military operation in Venezuela and the capture of Nicolás Maduro, social media users widely circulated a 43-second video showing skyscrapers accompanied by chants, shouts, whistles, and applause in the background, claiming it depicts celebrations in Caracas at dawn and urging viewers to increase the volume to hear the chants.

“This is how Caracas dawns. Crank up the volume,” a user wrote in Spanish on X.

“Turn up the volume to listen to the video, it's today's sunrise in Caracas. Long live freedom!” another user wrote in Spanish.
