As the dust settles in Caracas, Venezuelans are reacting to the news of President Nicolás Maduro's capture by the US with hope, fear, and uncertainty.
People began to emerge in the streets Saturday after a night rocked by explosions in the Caracas Valley, with moods that ranged from celebration to condemnation.
Dina, a local resident, told the BBC that for now, she was grateful to the US for "taking Maduro out of here" because she "at least can see some light at the end of the tunnel again".
