Venezuela was struck by back‑to‑back magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 earthquakes that caused widespread building collapse and left at least 32 people dead and more than 700 injured. Acting President Delcy Rodríguez declared a state of emergency, urging evacuation of damaged structures and coordinating national rescue efforts. International aid, including from the United States, was offered in response to the disaster, with warnings that the quakes could be deadlier than the 1900 7.7‑magnitude event that struck the country.
