Venezuelan defense minister says investigation under way into Jan. 3 U.S. military operation

In his statement, the military chief did not specify the type or scope of the investigation, but indicated that the ongoing investigation will allow the country “to learn, evaluate and make adjustments” to the transformation plan for Venezuela’s Bolivarian National Armed Forces, adding that “extremely high technology” was involved.

The remarks were made on Venezuela’s National Dignity Day, an event viewed as a symbol of resistance and political transformation.
