A second 7.6-magnitude earthquake has hit southeastern Turkey. It followed a quake registering 7.8 that struck the region earlier on Monday.
More than 1,300 people are known to have been killed in Turkey and northern Syria. The toll is expected to rise sharply on both sides of the border.
The early morning 7.8-magnitude temblor was centered about 20 miles from Gaziantep, a major city and provincial capital in Turkey.
The first quake was Turkey’s largest disaster since 1939, according to President Tayyip Erdogan.
