Browsing: Strong aftershock rattles Venezuela amid rescue bid

A strong aftershock jolted Venezuela early Monday following last week’s devastating back-to-back earthquakes, as civilians and emergency responders kept combing through the ruins of fallen buildings for survivors. The aftershock, which struck about 27 km north of Caraballeda on Venezuela’s Caribbean coast at 7:01 am local time, measured 4.6 on the Richter scale, according to the United States Geological Survey. Colombia’s geological survey put the magnitude at 5.1.
