Primary location data contradict this directional description.

• The USGS reviewed foreshock location is 10.4085, -68.5571, and the event title says "21 km ENE of San Felipe, Venezuela".
• The USGS reviewed mainshock location is 10.5086, -68.5036.
• GeoNames lists San Felipe at 10.34010324, -68.74296897.

Because both earthquakes have longitudes that are less westerly (closer to zero) than San Felipe's longitude, both epicenters are east of San Felipe, not west. The foreshock is explicitly labeled by USGS as ENE of San Felipe, which directly contradicts the article's wording.

The direction given here does not match the published coordinates.

• The USGS reviewed foreshock location is 10.4085, -68.5571.
• GeoNames lists Yumare at 10.597032, -68.673276.

Relative to Yumare, the foreshock is south (lower latitude) and east (less westerly longitude). That makes it southeast of Yumare, not east-northeast. So the directional description in the article is incorrect even if the rest of the sentence describes the same earthquake.

This date is contradicted by the Uruguayan government's own announcement.

The official Presidency of Uruguay article about the humanitarian airlift is dated 04/07/2026 and says the first flight to Venezuela carried 15 toneladas of aid. In the Spanish-language official format used by the site, 04/07/2026 is 4 July 2026, not 4 April 2026.

That also matches the disaster timeline: the earthquakes occurred on 24 June 2026, so an April 4 flight could not have been a response to them.
