A magnitude 5.7 earthquake jolted eastern Turkey on June 14, according to the country’s disaster agency.
The Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) said the quake struck Turkey’s eastern Bingöl province’s Karlıova district at 5.24 p.m. local time (1524GMT).
The quake was also felt in near provinces such as Erzurum, Muş, Elazığ and Diyarbakır.
Turkey has a history of powerful earthquakes. More than 17,000 people were killed in August 1999 when a 7.6 magnitude quake struck the western city of İzmit, 90 kilometers southeast of Istanbul. About 500,000 people were made homeless.
In 2011 an earthquake struck the eastern city of Van and the town of Erciş, some 100 km (60 miles) to the north, killing at least 523 people.
