Venezuela’s main international airport, Maiquetía, has been closed due to damage sustained from powerful earthquakes that struck overnight. The country’s acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, announced the closure and indicated the government will declare a state of emergency in response to the disaster. While the full extent of the damage is still being assessed, reports confirm multiple buildings have collapsed. Authorities have expressed condolences to families affected by the earthquakes, but have not yet confirmed casualty numbers. The earthquakes occurred during the night, Norwegian time, and triggered a swift response from the Venezuelan government. Further updates are expected as rescue and damage assessment efforts continue.
