A second earthquake struck Turkey just hours after a massive 7.8 magnitude tremor struck the same region, killing at least 1,500 people.
The epicentre of the first quake was in the Turkish city of Gaziantep, with much of the devastation centred along the border region, where hundreds of thousands of refugees reside.
The second quake struck around noon and is feared to have caused many more deaths.
Hundreds of buildings were completely destroyed in the quake, with tremors felt as far as Cyprus and Egypt.
Turkish officials say some 900 people have been killed there while in Syria the death toll stands at more than 500.

In This Story: Cyprus

Cyprus, officially called the Republic of Cyprus, is an island country in the Eastern Mediterranean.

The Republic of Cyprus is de facto partitioned into two main parts: the area under the effective control of the Republic, located in the south and west and comprising about 59% of the island’s area, and the north, administered by the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, covering about 36% of the island’s area. Another nearly 4% of the island’s area is covered by a UN buffer zone.

The Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia, remain under the UK’s control according to the London and Zürich Agreements.

The Republic of Cyprus has been a member of the Commonwealth since 1961 and joined the European Union on 1 May 2004.
