Ankara: In Turkey’s second major earthquake this month, a factory collapsed along with several buildings, killing one worker and injuring dozens.
According to the World News Agency, the 5.6-magnitude earthquake in the Malatya province of Turkey caused panic among the citizens and they came out of the buildings shouting Allahu Akbar.
The 5.6-magnitude earthquake was centered at a depth of 6.96 km (4.32 mi) in Yesheliwarat, Malatya province. Earthquake tremors were also felt in other 4 neighboring provinces connected to Malatya.
The in-charge of the rescue team says that one body has been recovered from the wreckage of the factory while a total of 32 people have been rescued alive and 110 people are injured who are being treated at different hospitals.
The tremors of the earthquake were so powerful that many buildings began to shake. According to an estimate, more than 10 buildings were completely or partially destroyed when a factory also collapsed.
Since the terrible earthquake in Turkey and Syria at the beginning of this month, there have been about 10,000 aftershocks in Turkey alone, in which the 5.8-magnitude earthquake today proved to be fatal.
It should be remembered that more than 50 thousand people were killed in the earthquake that occurred in Turkey on the 6th of this month. In the 7.6 magnitude earthquake, the number of injured is more than 100,000 and 800,000 people were displaced.
