Venezuela Shaken by Back-to-Back Quakes

Two devastating earthquakes rattled Venezuela’s northern coast—first a 7.2, then just 40 seconds later a stronger 7.5—shaking buildings, sending people fleeing streets, and triggering a red alert from the US Geological Survey. The timing couldn’t be worse: hitting on a public holiday amid Venezuela’s ongoing political and economic turmoil. Fatalities are reported, though exact numbers remain unclear. The acting president has declared a state of emergency, schools are closed nationwide for a week, and the main airport near Caracas is shut down. Authorities are cutting off gas, deploying security, and grappling with internet outages as damage assessments unfold. The world is rallying to support Venezuela through this crisis.
