Two powerful earthquakes, measuring 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude, struck off the Venezuelan coast on Wednesday, causing buildings to collapse in Caracas and prompting widespread panic. The tremors were felt across multiple countries, including Brazil, where evacuations occurred in cities over 1,000 miles away. Venezuelan authorities are currently assessing the extent of the damage and responding to the emergency. Reports indicate structural damage to buildings in the capital, though the full scope of casualties remains unclear. The acting president is overseeing the response efforts following the significant seismic event. Further aftershocks are possible, and residents are urged to remain vigilant. The earthquakes represent a major natural disaster for Venezuela.
