Jan 7 (Reuters) - Venezuela's interior minister Diosdado Cabello said late on ⁠Wednesday that 100 people died in the U.S. attack which removed ‍President Nicolas Maduro from power on Saturday.

Caracas ​have not previously given a number for those killed, but the army posted ​a list of 23 names of its dead. Venezuelan officials have said a large part of Maduro's security contingent was killed "in cold ‌blood," and Cuba has said 32 ‌members of its military and intelligence services in ​Venezuela were killed.

Maduro's wife Cilia Flores, detained alongside him, suffered a ‌head injury during the U.S. raid, Cabello ⁠said, and Maduro an injury ‌to his leg.

Venezuela's ​interim President Delcy Rodriguez, who Cabello praised during his weekly show on state ⁠television as "courageous", ⁠declared on Tuesday a week of mourning ​for members of the military killed in the ‌raid.
