An earthquake of 4.6 magnitude shook oil-rich northwestern Venezuela on Wednesday but there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries, authorities said.
The quake occurred at 1525 local time (1955 GMT) southwest of the city of Punto Fijo, said Francisco Garces, head of the local seismological center Funvisis.
“So far we’ve received reports that it was felt strongly … but we’re monitoring the situation to see if they report any damages,” said Garces.
