ISTANBUL - Nine people were killed and buildings collapsed across southeastern Turkey on Sunday when a magnitude 5.7 earthquake struck near the border with Iran, injuring more than a hundred in villages and towns in both countries, government officials said.
The quake damaged buildings some 90 km to the west in the Turkish city of Van, and to the east in dozens of villages in Iran, where state TV said 75 people were injured including six in hospital. After the initial tremor, Turkish TV footage showed people digging with shovels and their hands in the rubble, as well as furniture and belongings strewn on cracked and snowy roads.
The European Mediterranean Seismological Centre said the quake, which hit at 8:53 a.m. , had a depth of 5 km . The second big quake struck at 7:00 p.m. The U.S. Geological Survey put the epicenter 47 km west of the Iranian city of Khoy, where people felt the effects, according to state TV.
They are isolated from other countries and have to face earthquake, oh my.. Very sad 😭😭😭

I do not know of a better nation at the moment for the gods to express such displeasure. I hope for more to come until they and the Kurds can come to mutual agreement.
犠牲に遭われ亡くなられた方々のご冥福をお祈りします。合掌🙏

Help them!
