An earthquake shook southeast Turkey today, killing one person, injuring 69 and causing some buildings to collapse, Turkish authorities said.
It hit three weeks after a massive quake that killed more than 50,000 people in Turkey and Syria.
Yunus Sezer, head of Turkey`s Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) told a news conference that search and rescue teams had been deployed to five buildings.
The quake, which struck the southeastern province of Malatya, was measured by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre at a magnitude of 5.2. AFAD put it at 5.6.
