At least 86 people have died after a devastating magnitude-7.8 earthquake struck Turkey and Syria early Monday morning.
A massive magnitude-7.8 earthquake and its aftershock has caused catastrophic damage, surprising people when it struck in the dead of night in south-east Turkey and Syria on Monday. The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake struck 14 miles east of the Turkish district of Nurdağı, near the northern border of Syria, and was followed 11 minutes later by a magnitude 6.7 aftershock. It was 11 miles deep.
Initial reports claimed 10 deaths, but that number quickly increased to 86—and will likely continue to rise. Only three earthquakes of magnitude 6 or larger have occurred in the area since 1970. The largest was a magnitude 6.7, which occurred northeast of the current earthquake on January 24, 2020.
