Venezuela experienced two significant earthquakes within one minute on Wednesday, causing structural damage in the capital, Caracas. The first quake registered a magnitude of 7.1 and struck near Morón, followed by a more powerful 7.5 magnitude earthquake southwest of the town. Both earthquakes were relatively shallow, occurring at depths of 13km and 10km respectively, increasing the potential for damage. Reports indicate buildings have collapsed in Caracas, though the full extent of casualties and destruction is currently unknown. The US Geological Survey confirmed the magnitude and locations of both seismic events. Authorities are likely assessing the damage and initiating emergency response efforts. These quakes represent a rare occurrence of such strong seismic activity in the region.
