A magnitude 5.6 earthquake has shaken southern Turkey, three weeks after a catastrophic tremor devastated the region. The quake centred in the town of Yesilyurt in Malatya province caused some already-damaged buildings to collapse, killing at least one person, the country's disaster management agency (AFAD) said.
Another 69 people were injured as a result of the quake, AFAD's chief Yunus Sezer told reporters. More than two dozen buildings were said to have collapsed.
Yesilyurt's mayor, Mehmet Cinar, told HaberTurk television that a father and daughter were trapped beneath the rubble of a four-storey building in the town. The pair had entered the damaged building to collect belongings.
