Ankara: At least seven people were killed and dozens of others injured in 5.7-magnitude earthquake that hit eastern turkey, the country’s disaster management authority said on Thursday.
Deputy Prime Minister Besir Atalay said that Wednesday’s quake toppled 25 buildings in the city of Van but only three of them were occupied since the others have been evacuated after suffering damages in last month’s powerful temblor.
Rescue workers expedited their search and have pulled out 23 survivors from the rubble of three buildings.
The magnitude 5.7 quake was a grim replay of the previous 7.2-magnitude quake that hit Oct 23, killing more than 600 people.
