BREAKING: A 6.3 earthquake hit the Turkey-Syria border, two weeks after the devastating earthquake. No new casualties were immediately reported but witnesses report damage. Turkey has reported over 6,000 aftershocks since the February 6 earthquake killed over 46,000 people.

"There is no sense in letting people die this way." Tents are desperately needed in Samandağ area of Hatay hit by new quakes, according to mayor Refik Eryılmaz, who says that some people had been forced to return to their previously damaged homes due to harsh weather conditions.

WATCH: Scenes of panic in Hatay Airport as a magnitude 6.4 earthquake hit the border region between Turkey and Syria at 20:04 local time, just two weeks after two powerful earthquakes struck the area and killed more than 46,000 people in both countries.

Polls have closed in Turkey’s pivotal elections. Political drama aside, voting stations saw a range of distinctive characters, including the world’s tallest man, a horseback rider dressed like an Ottoman soldier, and hospital patients determined to vote ⤵️

Unbelievable: Turkish voter turnout: 93.6%. #TurkishElections #Türkiye
