A 4.6-magnitude aftershock centred at a depth of 10 km (6 miles) hit north of the Venezuelan capital Caracas early on Monday (June 29) around 11GMT, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

No damage was immediately reported from the aftershock, the president of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodriguez, said on social media.

Rescue workers were seen running momentarily, and then continued their fourth day of round-the-clock work in the areas affected by last week's powerful earthquakes in Venezuela.

Rescue efforts have been focusing particularly on La Guaira, the hardest-hit state of a country long mired in a deep political and economic crisis.

Wednesday's twin earthquakes have left close to 1,500 people confirmed dead.
