Survivors searched desperately for missing family members as rescue workers continued efforts through the night.Residents in the capital, Caracas, described the devastation as “like a horror movie.” Maria Alejandra, a local resident, said the once-bustling city looked like an apocalyptic landscape after the earthquakes struck.The earthquakes hit shortly after 6:00 pm local time (3:30 am IST Friday), damaging buildings across Caracas and nearby regions. Authorities also issued tsunami warnings for parts of the Caribbean following the powerful back-to-back tremors.Rescue operations remain underway as officials assess the full extent of the damage, with fears that the death toll and number of injured could rise in the coming hours.
