At least 19 dead, more than 600 injured in Turkey earthquake
At least 19 people died and more than 600 were injured in eastern Turkey after an earthquake rattled the region on Friday evening, CNN reported. The 6.7-magnitude quake struck near the town of Sivrice, in eastern Elazig province, collapsing at least 10 buildings, the source cited Turkish Interior Minister Sulyman Soylu as saying.
Thirteen people were killed in Elazig province, four in Malatya, one in Diyarbakir and one in another area, the country's Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD) says.
About 650 people were injured, but the number could rise.
Video from Turkey's IHA Broadcasting Services shows emergency crews rescuing injured people from a collapsed building. Search and rescue operations were underway for 30 missing people in the Elazig city, Soylu said.
Preliminary reports say the earthquake lasted 40 seconds.
