CARACAS, Venezuela (AFP) — Two earthquakes of magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 struck the same area of Venezuela on Wednesday evening, causing buildings to collapse, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and AFP journalists.

The quakes drove residents of the capital, Caracas, into the streets.

It remains unknown whether the incident caused fatalities, but some buildings collapsed and roofs crumbled, according to Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello.
