Venezuela’s northern coast was hit by two powerful back-to-back earthquakes on Wednesday, leaving scores of people dead and widespread destruction in its wake. At least 188 people have died, 1,520 more have been injured and 157 are missing in the largest earthquakes to hit the country in more than a century, though the true extent of the toll and damage is still feared to be much higher. A state of emergency has been declared as first responders deploy nationwide, and other countries rally to send assistance.

On Wednesday evening, Venezuela was hit with its largest tremors in more than a century — toppling buildings and claiming more than 100 lives. The event, according to the US Geological Survey, was a rare phenomenon called a “doublet” that contained not one but two major earthquakes. Doublets occur when two quakes of similar magnitude happen in close succession — potentially causing more damage than a single quake. In this instance, a 7.2-magnitude earthquake shook northern Venezuela and was followed by a 7.5-magnitude quake only 39 seconds later. “Double earthquakes are very destructive,” said Raul Perez-Lopez, an earthquake scientist at Madrid’s Geological and Mining Institute of Spain. “The main difference is that double earthquakes have similar energy, whereas (a) single earthquake and (smaller) aftershocks are lesser in energy.”

Two major back-to-back earthquakes struck Venezuela on Wednesday evening. More than 160 people have been confirmed dead on Thursday morning with hundreds more injured, and the death toll is expected to rise. CNN is tracking developments, in maps and charts. The larger 7.5 magnitude earthquake struck only 39 seconds after a 7.2 magnitude foreshock. This marks the largest recorded earthquake in Venezuela for more than a century.
