With magnitudes of 7.2 and 7.5, these seismic events were among the strongest recorded in the country in more than a century. Death tolls reportedly range from 164 to 235, with tens of thousands reported missing, while rescue teams conduct ongoing search operations and international organizations mobilize humanitarian aid.
