A 6.2-magnitude earthquake jolted northwest Venezuela on Wednesday, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The agency said the epicenter was 15 miles (24 kilometers) east-northeast of the community of Mene Grande in Zulia state, more than 370 miles (600 kilometers) west of the capital, Caracas.
Venezuela's government did not immediately release information on the earthquake, which the U.S. agency said had a depth of 5 miles (7.8 kilometers).
