The 24 June 2026 Venezuela Earthquake Sequence: A Multifault Mw 7.6 Supershear Rupture on the Boconó and San Sebastián Faults Constrained by Near- and Far-Field Observations
On 24 June 2026, northern Venezuela was struck by a large and destructive earthquake with a scalar seismic moment equivalent to Mw 7.6. A preliminary source inversion yields a finite-fault model with two distinct plane solutions, providing evidence that the rupture propagated across two fault segments: an initial rup...
