New Delhi, June 27 -- Roughly two days after Venezuela was rocked by twin powerful earthquakes that left more than 900 people dead, another earthquake struck off the country's northern coast on Friday afternoon (local time).

Reuters reported that witnesses in Caracas and Maracay felt the quake, which the earthquake monitor EMSC said had a magnitude of 4.9.

The third earthquake comes at a time when Venezuela was already reeling under twin powerful earthquakes that rocked the country on Wednesday, killing at least 920 and injuring another 3,360, according to officials, who believe the death toll could be higher.

This is a developing story. More details awaited.
