Two strong earthquakes, measuring 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude, struck western Venezuela, impacting the capital city of Caracas. The quakes caused buildings to collapse, trapping individuals under rubble, according to reports from Reuters and the USGS. Authorities are bracing for potentially significant casualties and widespread damage across the South American nation. The United States Geological Survey confirmed the magnitude of the seismic events. International news agencies report the death toll could be substantial, though a precise count remains unavailable. Rescue efforts are underway as the country assesses the full extent of the devastation.
