Just 24 minutes ago, a 5.2-magnitude earthquake struck near Gueiria, Valdez Municipality, Sucre, Venezuela. The tremor was recorded in the evening on Tuesday, November 18th, 2025, at 9:38 pm local time, at an intermediate depth of 102. km below the surface.
The event was filed by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), the first seismological agency to report it.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 5.2 earthquake as well. A third agency, The Colombian Geological Service (SGC), reported the same quake at magnitude 5.0.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Yaguaraparo (pop. 13,600) located 34 km from the epicenter, Gueiria (pop. 40,000) 40 km away, Carupano (pop. 167,200) 73 km away, Caripito (pop. 43,400) 92 km away, Casanay (pop. 20,600) 94 km away, and Port of Spain (pop. 49,000) 119 km away.
