2026年全球多地遭遇强烈地震。其中，委内瑞拉在6月24日遭受最具破坏性的地震袭击，当天相隔39秒内发生了7.2级和7.5级两次强震，造成6300多人死亡，5万8千栋建筑物受损或被毁[1]。同月8日，菲律宾发生7.8级地震（为2026年最强），导致至少107人丧生[1]。8月10日，哥伦比亚发生7.4级地震，造成250多人死亡[1]。
此外，全球其他地区也经历了不同规模的地震。汤加在3月24日发生7.5级地震，震源深度230公里，未造成重大伤亡[1]。日本在4月20日发生7.4级海底地震，位于三陆海岸[1]。阿富汗则在4月3日遭遇5.8级地震，至少造成12人死亡[1]。
The year 2026 witnessed devastating seismic activity across multiple continents, with Venezuela experiencing the deadliest disaster. On June 24, two powerful earthquakes—measuring 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude—struck Venezuela just 39 seconds apart, claiming over 6,300 lives and damaging or destroying approximately 58,000 buildings, making it the year's most fatal seismic event.[1] Meanwhile, the Philippines recorded the strongest earthquake of 2026 on June 8, when a 7.8 magnitude tremor killed at least 107 people.[1]
Other significant earthquakes added to the toll throughout the year. Colombia was struck by a 7.4 magnitude earthquake on August 10, resulting in over 250 deaths.[1] Beyond the deadliest incidents, several other regions experienced major seismic activity: Tonga experienced a 7.5 magnitude earthquake on March 24 at a depth of 230 kilometers without major casualties, Japan was hit by a 7.4 magnitude undersea earthquake off the Sanriku Coast on April 20, and Afghanistan endured a 5.8 magnitude earthquake on April 3 that killed at least 12 people.[1]
