The helicopter that led the operation to capture Venezuela's authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro got hit but managed to remain flyable, avoiding further danger to U.S. troops, according to a new report.
The New York Times reported that the aircraft in question was a twin-rotor MH-47 Chinook. The flight leader, who also planned the mission and was piloting the helicopter, was struck three times in the leg, the outlet added, citing current and former U.S. officials.
