On Monday, a 6.3 magnitude earthquake struck the border region between Turkey and Syria at a depth of two kilometers (1.2 miles), according to the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC). Two witnesses reported feeling strong tremors and further damage to buildings in central Antakya, which had already been hit by two massive earthquakes just two weeks prior, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths and widespread destruction of buildings and infrastructure. Meanwhile, other witnesses observed Turkish rescue teams racing to assess the safety of individuals in the aftermath of the latest earthquake.
