International concerns mounting as the US warns of more strikes on Venezuela. President Nicolás Maduro and his wife were taken captive during the weekend in an overnight raid. Critics have voiced concern over the legality of the US operation. UN chief António Guterres said the operation sets a "dangerous precedent", while Venezuela's neighbour Colombia slammed the US' action as an assault to sovereignty. China, Russia and Iran — which have long-standing ties with the Maduro government — have also expressed outrage. Jagruti Dave reports from Washington DC.
