On 24 June 2026, two powerful earthquakes struck the Morón, Yaracuy, and Carabobo regions in Venezuela, leaving more than 160 people dead and over 900 others injured.
The back-to-back 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes are the strongest seismic events recorded in the country in more than a century.
The Venezuelan government has declared a nationwide state of emergency, with water, gas, and communication services disrupted across affected areas, while Caracas International Airport has been forced to close due to significant damage sustained.
