Local media published photos showing damage to the windows, but the circumstances of the attack remain unclear. 

It is unclear where Vance was at the time of the incident, but he was reported to be in Florida last Friday, where he met with former President Donald Trump. Vance spent the day with Trump at his West Palm Beach golf club, discussing strikes on Venezuela and the plan to depose Nicolás Maduro. However, he did not join the president and other senior officials to Mar-a-Lago to monitor the operation.
