Twin earthquakes hit Venezuela, killing at least about 1,400 people, with multiple outlets reporting the toll has risen over time. France 24 and Yahoo UK News report the death toll tops 1,400, while The Mirror cites roughly 1,430 deaths. India Today also reports deaths exceeding 1,400 and says more than 3,000 people are injured. Some earlier reporting in The Economic Times and IOL indicates a lower confirmed figure of “nearly 1,000,” along with tens of thousands of people missing, suggesting the casualty count increases as information is updated.
Across reports, tens of thousands of residents are missing or unaccounted for after the quakes, and survivors are trapped under rubble. The Mirror describes an ongoing race to extract people, indicating active search-and-rescue efforts. The sources do not consistently provide detailed damage figures or specific locations, but they agree on the scale of casualties, the presence of large numbers of injured, and the continued uncertainty about missing residents as rescue operations continue.
