Another 6.4 magnitude earthquake hits Southern Turkey

The Southern Turkey and Syria border has been hit by another earthquake with a 6.4 magnitude on Monday.

A 6.4-magnitude earthquake and a second measuring 5.8 have hit Turkey-Syria border region after it was devastated two weeks ago by quakes that killed tens of thousands of people.

Turkish Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu said, three people were killed and more than 200 others injured.

#CANLI İçişleri Bakanı @suleymansoylu: Bu depremden sonra biri Antakya, biri Defne ve birisi de Samandağ ilçesinde olmak üzere 3 vatandaşımız hayatını kaybetti, 213 yaralımız var. Antakya'da fayın bir bölümünün daha kırıldığının değerlendirilmesi var https://t.co/cW4doazYTi pic.twitter.com/WYRyEevIuo

Soylu added, people are trapped under rubble from newly collapsed buildings from the latest earthquake and the rescue services are still searching several buildings.

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) initially reported the quake as being of magnitude 6.4 at a depth of 10 kilometers before revising it down to 6.3 magnitude.

However, Turkish authorities have recorded more than 6,000 aftershocks since the 6 February earthquake.
