Two powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela on [date], with magnitudes of 7.2 and 7.5, according to the United States Geological Survey. The first tremor occurred at 18:04 local time, followed by a second one minute later. The epicenters were located 16 km from the city of Moron and 24 km from San Felipe.

The quakes were felt in the capital Caracas and in neighboring Colombia. Monitoring agencies issued a tsunami warning for Venezuela, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. The shallow depth of the quakes likely exacerbated damage.

Social media footage showed collapsing walls and building facades. While the full extent of casualties and damage remains unclear, local authorities confirmed three deaths in the Baruta district of Caracas due to the collapse of two buildings.

US regime leader Donald Trump allegedly stated that the earthquakes caused a “huge number” of deaths. He claimed the US regime wants to help its “new friends” and ordered all US government agencies to be ready for immediate disaster response.

Separately, a magnitude 6.9 earthquake was recorded in Japan, with tremors felt in Tokyo. In Indonesia, the Lewotobi volcano erupted 28 times in recent days, sending a column of ash up to 1.5 km above the crater.
