A new earthquake has rocked eastern Turkey, shaking up a region already devastated by a temblor that struck less than a month ago. The temblor registered at 5.5 on the Richter scale and struck at 2:05 a.m. local time early Wednesday.
Turkey's Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute said on its website that the quake hit the Kaustuk village of Adilcevaz town of Bitlis province. It shook up the Van province, as well as the Armenian capital of Yerevan.
There have been no reports on casualties yet.
Van was already devastated by the 7.2-magnitude earthquake that hit the area on October 23.
Numerous aftershocks followed that tragedy, which destroyed hundreds of buildings in the town of Ercis and the largest city of Vans. At least 605 died as a result, and more than 4,000 others were injured and left homeless. Read the rest on: Arutz7
