An AFP journalist reported scenes of panic, adding that the new tremors raised clouds of dust in the devastated town.

The walls of badly damaged buildings crumbled while several people, apparently injured, called for help.

According to Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency, more than 6,000 aftershocks have been recorded since the 7.8-magnitude quake hit Turkey and Syria.
