Another quake hits southern Turkey, killing at least one
(VOVWORLD) - On Monday, three weeks after a catastrophic quake devastated the region, a new magnitude-5.2 earthquake shook Malatya province in southeastern Turkey, killing at least one person and causing several already-damaged buildings to collapse.
Yunus Sezer, the chief of Turkey’s disaster management agency AFAD, said search and rescue teams have been deployed to 5 damaged buildings. At least two people remain trapped beneath the rubble.
Syria’s News Agency SANA said there is a risk of continuing earthquakes following the February 6th disaster that killed thousands of people.
