There are reports of more collapsed buildings Turkey and Syria on Monday after a 6.4-magnitude earthquake struck Turkey’s Hatay province, which was devastated by a massive tremor two week ago.
Syria’s state news agency, SANA, reported that six people have been injured in Aleppo from falling debris. In Turkey, the mayor of Hatay says a number of buildings have collapsed, trapping people inside.
Turkey’s disaster management agency, AFAD, said the magnitude-6.4 earthquake was centred on the town of Defne, in Hatay province. It was followed by a second, 5.8-magnitude tremor.
NTV television said the quake caused some damaged buildings to collapse, but there were no immediate reports of any casualties.
Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency said the quake was felt in Syria, Jordan, Israel and Egypt.
The magnitude-7.8 quake that struck on Feb. 6 killed nearly 45,000 people in Turkey and Syria.
Turkish authorities have recorded more than 6,000 aftershocks since.
