A magnitude 6.0 earthquake has struck an area of western Turkey near the town of Duzce, about 210km (130 miles) east of Turkey’s largest city Istanbul.
The tremors were strong enough to be felt in Istanbul and the capital Ankara. At least 46 people were injured, officials say.
Estimates of the quake’s depth vary from 2km to 10km.
There are reports of power being disrupted in the region, as well as some residents jumping from balconies.—BBC
