At least one dead after new earthquake in Turkey. Geologist: “I fear more earthquakes will follow”

Two weeks after the strong earthquake in Turkey and Syria, the border area between the two countries was again hit by a strong tremor tonight. It had a force of at least 6.3 on the Richter scale. In Turkey, one person died, eight people were injured. Additional casualties are feared. How exceptional is this in such a short time after the previous devastating quake? “I fear that more will follow,” says geologist Marc De Batist (UGent).
