Extraordinary claims have emerged from the United States alleging that American forces deployed a powerful new “sonic weapon” during the raid in Venezuela—an account that describes enemy soldiers collapsing, bleeding, and vomiting after being struck by an intense sound wave.
The operation followed last week’s capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces in a highly unusual military action.
The mission, part of a broader U.S. raid in Venezuela, saw Maduro and his wife taken into U.S. custody to face criminal charges, a move that has drawn global attention and debate.
According to a report published by the New York Post, a Venezuelan guard described how U.S. forces used technology “unlike anything” he had ever encountered during an operation to capture President Nicolás Maduro.
The account, shared online by the White House press secretary, claims radar systems suddenly shut down before drones swarmed the area and a small group of U.S. troops was deployed by helicopter.
The witness said the decisive moment came when an unknown device was activated.
“It was like a very intense sound wave,” he said.
“Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside. We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move.”
The report claims hundreds of Venezuelan fighters were incapacitated without a single U.S. casualty.
The White House has not confirmed the weapon’s existence or its use, and no independent verification of the account has been provided.
An estimated 100 Venezuelan security forces were killed in the Jan. 3 attack, according to the country’s Interior Ministry.
It is unclear if any of those were caused by the mystery weapon.
The outmatched defenders were helpless as the small US unit wiped them out, the guard said.
“Those twenty men, without a single casualty, killed hundreds of us,” he claimed. “We had no way to compete with their technology, with their weapons. I swear, I’ve never seen anything like it.”
