A series of low-intensity seismic tremors rattled multiple regions across Venezuela between Monday, Nov. 9, and the early hours of Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2026.
Data from the Fundación Venezolana de Investigaciones Sismológicas (Funvisis) confirms activity across both the eastern and western sectors of the country, though authorities report no material damage or casualties.
The seismic activity began in the eastern state of Sucre, where a sequence of tremors occurred during the early hours of Monday. According to La iguana TV, the first of these events took place at 12:30 a.m. with a magnitude of 2.8 Mw and a focal depth of 17.3 kilometers, centered 36 kilometers north of Irapa. The epicenter was further identified at 37 kilometers northwest of Güiria. Radio America specified the coordinates for this event as 10.902° north latitude and 62.515° west longitude.
Shortly thereafter, at 2:00 a.m., a second tremor measuring 2.9 Mw was recorded 33 kilometers southeast of Güiria at a shallow depth of 6.3 kilometers. This event was also located 42 kilometers southwest of Macuro, with coordinates placed at 10.386° north and 62.172° west.
Radio America corroborated these events, noting that the sequence occurred over an interval of approximately five and a half hours, concluding with a 3.2 Mw quake at 6:01 a.m. located 22 kilometers northwest of Irapa and 23 kilometers northeast of Yaguaraparo.
The activity extended into the following night, as reported by El Comercio Perú. Globovisión detailed that on Monday, November 9, at 9:33 p.m., a 3.0 Mw earthquake struck 8 kilometers northwest of Irapa, reaching a depth of 34.4 kilometers. This event was also recorded 26 kilometers northeast of Yaguaraparo at coordinates 10.644 N and 62.604 W. By Tuesday morning, the focus shifted to the western state of Falcón.
At 5:12 a.m., seismic stations detected a 2.7 Mw tremor situated 25 kilometers east of San Luis, with a focal depth of 12.5 kilometers. This event was further noted as 37 kilometers north of the town of Churuguara, at coordinates 11.130 N and 69.459 W.
Funvisis, which operates as an entity attached to the Ministry for Science and Technology, maintains digital channels for public updates, including platforms such as YouTube, X, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Threads.
Venezuela sits near the boundary of the Caribbean and South American plates, a zone characterized by complex fault systems that frequently produce such micro-seismic events.
The lack of reported damage or injuries, as highlighted by Globovisión and Radio America, aligns with the technical nature of these specific quakes. Authorities have not issued emergency alerts, and regular activity continues in the affected states of Sucre and Falcón.
Funvisis, the state agency responsible for monitoring these geological shifts, continues to track seismic activity across the national territory.
