    Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu: Dual earthquakes on February 20 claimed lives of three people in southern Türkiye

    Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu: Dual earthquakes on February 20 claimed lives of three people in southern Türkiye

    At least three people were killed, and two hundred and thirteen others were sent to hospitals after two fresh earthquakes jolted southern Türkiye on Monday night, country's Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu told reporters in south Hatay province, the quakes epicenter:

    #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

    — Akşam Gazetesi (@Aksam) February 20, 2023

    'After this earthquake, three of our citizens, one in Antakya, one in Defne, and one in Samandağ district, lost their lives, and we have two hundred and thirteen injured',
    Interior Minister said.

    Rescue teams have been working in three wreckage sites to save six people trapped in the latest quakes, Süleyman Soylu said.

    The dual earthquakes, measuring 6.4 and 5.8 magnitude, respectively, come two weeks after two massive quakes rocked the same region on February 6, which claimed the lives of more than 41,000 across the country. Of the latest earthquakes, the first 6.4-magnitude hit the Defne district of Hatay province at around 20:04 local time (1704 GMT). The second 5.8-magnitude jolted three minutes later, with the epicenter in Hatay's Samandag district, the Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) said. The first quake occurred 16.7 kilometers below the surface, while the second was at a depth of 7 km.

    The Mayor of Hatay province, Lutfi Savas, told the local media that the recent earthquakes brought down some buildings, and some people were trapped under the debris. Local media reported the tremor in Syria, Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, and Egypt. However, reports emerging from Syria's Aleppo and Latakia provinces, both hard hit by the February 6 earthquake, said there is a state of panic in the two provinces with no immediate reports on losses or possible collapses.

    The AFAD said on Monday that more than 6,000 aftershocks had been recorded since February 6. The massive dual quakes two weeks ago killed at least 41,156 and injured 105,505 others across ten provinces in Türkiye.
