At 20:04 an earthquake occurred in southern Turkey, which was followed by a smaller tremor.
The region was hit by an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 just over two weeks ago.
Over 44,000 people have so far lost their lives when buildings collapsed in several cities.
According to Turkish Daily Sabah, today's quake was followed by a smaller aftershock with a magnitude of 5.8.
Several buildings in the Turkish province of Hatay that were damaged in the previous earthquakes have reportedly collapsed.
According to Reuters witnesses, the earthquake was felt in Egypt, Lebanon and Syria.
Hatay was hit hard by the big earthquake two weeks ago.
In the provincial capital of Antakya, several important buildings were razed to the ground and the hashtag "Hatay is waiting for help" trended on social media.
