Two powerful earthquakes measuring 7.2 and 7.5 on the Richter scale struck the capital, Caracas, Venezuela, resulting in the deaths of 32 people and injuries to 700. These are among the strongest earthquakes to hit the country in a century. The quakes caused building collapses and the destruction of Maiquetía International Airport, leading to a halt in air traffic, the closure of residential areas, and rescue operations to extract victims from beneath the rubble.
