Tremors from earthquake in Iran badly affected villages across the border in Turkey's Van province on February 23, 2020.

At least eight people were killed and 21 others injured on Sunday in eastern Turkey from tremors after an earthquake hit Iran near the border with eastern Turkey. According to the Seismological Center of the Geophysics Institute of Tehran University, seven aftershocks rocked the area afterwards. Tremors from a 5.7-magnitude quake caused damage to buildings and many people are trapped under debris, Turkey's Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu said in a news conference.
