TERREMOTO VENEZUELA | Edificios y viviendas derrumbadas en CARACAS tras los SISMOS | EL PAÍS

Two powerful earthquakes, measuring 7.2 and 7.5 on the Richter scale and occurring just 39 seconds apart, shook several regions of Venezuela on Wednesday afternoon, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The epicenter was located northwest of the municipality of Montalbán (Carabobo State), in the central part of the country. The tremor was also felt in the capital, Caracas, located about 300 kilometers from the epicenter. The U.S. National Tsunami Warning Center explained that the two earthquakes formed a "seismic doublet," a phenomenon in which two large earthquakes occur within seconds of each other in the same area.
