Science news today is dominated by catastrophe in Venezuela, where twin earthquakes measuring 7.2 and 7.5 have devastated the country’s north and areas around Caracas, leaving roughly 920 dead, thousands injured, and more than 50,000 still unaccounted for. In La Guaira, the worst-hit coastal region, residents have joined overstretched rescue crews in digging through repeated collapses, underscoring both the scale of the destruction and the urgency of the search for survivors. International teams and humanitarian groups are arriving as estimates suggest millions may be affected. Elsewhere, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Seychelles offers a sharply different note: a ceremonial Golden Jubilee trip that also highlights India’s strategic push to deepen ties in the Indian Ocean, with maritime security and regional cooperation at the center of talks.
