Two powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela on 24 June 2026, occurring within seconds of each other with magnitudes of 7.2 and 7.5.

The impact was most severe in the capital, Caracas, where widespread damage has been reported. Tremors were also felt in neighbouring Colombia, while precautionary tsunami warnings were issued across parts of the Caribbean before being partly withdrawn.

Preliminary assessments indicate material damage across several areas, including structural impacts and partial collapses. The strongest effects were concentrated in Caracas and surrounding regions, and aftershocks remain a possibility.

Kuehne+Nagel reports that operations at Puerto Cabello continue as normal. In contrast, La Guaira Port, the country’s main port and airport hub, has experienced more extensive damage, creating a more complex situation.

Disruptions are anticipated across domestic logistics activities and key infrastructure, including ports, airports and road transport, with potential secondary effects affecting wider regional supply chains.
