Venezuela's interim leader, Delcy Rodríguez, has replaced her country's senior military commanders one day after appointing a new defence minister.
Announcing the move on Thursday, Rodríguez said the new appointments would guarantee Venezuela's "sovereignty, peace, stability and territorial integrity".
The shake-up to Caracas' top defence team follows US President Donald Trump's Venezuela raid and capture of President Nicolás Maduro in early January.
Since then Rodríguez has distanced herself from her predecessor's rule and has closely cooperated with Washington, with the two countries restoring diplomatic relations at the start of March.
Among the new military appointments, Rodríguez said Dilio Alejandro Agüero Montes would be the new navy commander, Royman Antonio Hernández Briceño the new air force commander, and Rubén Darío Belzares Escobar the new army commander.
