Window Narrowing to Find Survivors as Quake Death Toll Surpasses 1,400

The New York Times reports:

The death toll rose to 1,430 people, according to Jorge Rodríguez, the leader of Venezuela’s National Assembly. Speaking in a televised address, he said that more than 3,200 people had been injured and more than 3,000 left homeless by the 7.2- and 7.5-magnitude quakes.

Many more people are believed to be missing, and hundreds of rescue workers from around the world were joining in the search for them. But they are landing in damaged airports, traveling down congested, splintered roads and finding little help from Venezuela’s hollowed-out emergency services.

That led to chaotic scenes as Venezuelan citizens hurried to help each other and the authorities, facing criticism that they have not done enough, tried to establish control. More than 14,000 police and military officers were patrolling La Guaira, the northern state hardest hit by the earthquakes, to guarantee the security of relief efforts, President Delcy Rodríguez said early Saturday on state television.

U.S. Forces Conduct Additional Strikes After Iran’s Latest Commercial Ship Attack

U.S. Forces Conduct Additional Strikes After Iran’s Latest Commercial Ship Attack

USCENTCOM

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces conducted additional strikes against multiple targets in Iran, June 27, at the Commander in Chief’s direction.

After yesterday’s U.S. strikes in response to the Iranian attack on M/V Ever Lovely, Iran was given a chance to honor the ceasefire agreement but elected not to when its forces launched a one-way attack drone that hit M/T Kiku this morning at 4:30 a.m. ET. The Panama-flagged tanker was transiting near the Strait of Hormuz with more than two-million barrels of crude oil.

CENTCOM forces launched strikes today in direct response to continued Iranian aggression against commercial shipping. U.S. military aircraft targeted Iranian military surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defense sites, drone storage facilities, and minelayer capabilities.
