    Things to know about the Venezuela earthquakes

    Two powerful earthquakes (7.2 and 7.5 magnitudes) struck Venezuela's northern coast within 39 seconds, causing at least 188 deaths, over 200 trapped individuals, and significant damage in La Guaira and Caracas. The U.S. Geological Survey attributed the quakes to shallow strike-slip faulting near the Caribbean and South American tectonic plate boundary. Acting President Delcy Rodríguez announced a $200 million reconstruction fund and deployed rescue teams.
