"The damage caused loss of life," the governor of Van, Mehmet Bilmez, told reporters standing in front of a pile of cinder blocks and sheet metal."There is destruction in all four villages" he visited on Sunday morning, he added.
Broadcasters and government officials said dozens of villages were rattled in Turkey, which like Iran has a history of powerful earthquakes. Nearly 150 tents were sent to shelter families in the region, where several schools in the districts of Baskale, Saray and Gurpinar sustained minor damage. The U.S. Geological Survey put the epicenter 47 km west of the Iranian city of Khoy, where people felt the tremor, according to state TV.
An Iranian official told state TV that rescue teams had been dispatched to the area in Iran's West Azarbaijan province.
Guess you don’t care Israel just had major terrorist bombings.
