Three people have been killed and more than 200 injured after a 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck the Turkey-Syria border two weeks after massive quake in the region left more than 45,000 dead.
More buildings have collapsed, trapping some people, while more than 130 injuries were recorded in neighbouring Syria.
Turkey’s AFAD disaster management agency said the earthquake was centred around the town of Defne in the country’s Hatay province, which was the worst-hit region after the huge 7.8 magnitude tremor earlier this month.
The White Helmets, northwest Syria’s civil defence organisation, reported more than 130 injuries, most of them non-life threatening, including fractures and cases of people fainting, while a number of buildings collapsed in areas already damaged.
