The death toll has risen to at least 188.

The USGS estimates economic losses from the disaster will likely fall between $10 billion and $100 billion. Leaders from multiple countries including China, Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico have pledged support.

The US has deployed search and rescue teams, medical resources, and humanitarian assistance. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the US is also sending assets to Venezuela's main airport, which he described as "badly damaged."

At least 30 aftershocks have occurred since the two main earthquakes, damaging multiple buildings across the country.

The true death toll is feared to be much higher, with many people still trapped under rubble.

At least 164 people have been killed and 971 injured, according to multiple news sources.

A 7.2 magnitude quake struck near San Felipe just after 6 p.m. Wednesday, followed 39 seconds later by a 7.5 magnitude earthquake — Venezuela's most powerful in over a century.

Venezuelan authorities said that many structures across the country are at risk of collapse and have deployed forces to respond, according to CNN.

Damage and injuries have been reported, with collapsed buildings in Caracas, according to U.S. news outlets. Additionally, tsunami alerts have been issued for Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) said that "high casualties and extensive damage are probable" after the powerful earthquakes. "Disaster is likely widespread," the agency said. "Past red alerts have required a national or international response."

The USGS confirmed that a magnitude 7.5 earthquake occurred in northern Venezuela, west of Caracas, around 39 seconds after a magnitude 7.2 earthquake also hit.

A magnitude 7.1 earthquake was detected 13 miles west of Morón, Venezuela by the USGS seismic network.

Incident reported at 13 miles W of Morón, Venezuela.
