Two powerful earthquakes, measuring 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude, struck northern Venezuela, impacting the capital, Caracas, and surrounding areas. Venezuelan authorities have confirmed at least 32 fatalities and over 700 injuries as of reporting. The state of La Guaira, located near Caracas, has sustained the most significant damage. President Trump commented on the disaster, describing a “devastating number of deaths.” Rescue and recovery efforts are underway, though hampered by the scale of the damage and potential aftershocks. The full extent of the destruction is still being assessed, with concerns rising for those trapped under rubble and the potential for further casualties. Authorities are urging residents to remain vigilant and follow safety guidelines.
