Deadly quakes: At least 164 people have been killed and 971 injured after Venezuela's most powerful earthquake in more than a century, according to the country's acting President Delcy Rodriguez. The 7.5 magnitude quake struck just 40 seconds after a 7.2 magnitude foreshock.

Capital in crisis: A resident who survived a quake that hit Caracas in 1967 said the disaster was unlike anything he had experienced. Another resident who escaped a damaged building said "the scene was like a horror movie."
