A new 5.6 magnitude earthquake has struck Turkey. According to initial reports, one person is dead and at least 110 people have been injured. Over two dozen buildings were destroyed.

At least 32 injured citizens have been rescued, said the country’s disaster management agency, AFAD.

The disaster comes just three weeks after earthquakes with magnitudes of 7.8 and 7.6 ripped through its southern provinces. A disaster that left more than 44,000 people dead in Turkey, and more than 50,000 across the country and neighbouring Syria.

The fresh quake was centred in the Yeşilyurt district of southeastern Turkey’s Malatya province – an area that had already been hit by the prior ones.

“It is important not to enter the damaged structures in the region; it is important not to be around risky buildings,” AFAD warned on Twitter.

The disaster management has also stated that its agency’s teams have been dispatched to the region, where 650 workers are involved in search and rescue operations that are ongoing in seven buildings.
