Venezuela's Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello said late Wednesday that 100 people died in the US attack that ousted President Nicolas Maduro from power on Saturday.
Caracas has not previously given a death toll, but the army has published a list of 23 names of its dead, the Telegraph reports.
Venezuelan officials have said that a large part of Maduro's security contingent was killed "in cold blood," and Cuba has said that 32 members of its military and intelligence services in Venezuela were killed.
Maduro's wife, Cilia Flores, detained with him, suffered a head injury during the US raid, Cabello said, and Maduro a leg injury.
Venezuela's interim president, Delcy Rodriguez, whom Cabello praised during his weekly show on state television as "courageous," declared a week of mourning on Tuesday for the members of the military killed in the raid. /Telegraph
