Rescuers are once again searching for people trapped under rubble in Turkey after another earthquake hit the country, killing at least six people. Buildings weakened by the tremors on Feb 6 collapsed in both countries on Monday. Turkey's disaster and emergency agency says the 6.4 earthquake occurred at 20:04 local time (17:04 GMT) at a depth of 10km (6.2 miles). This was followed by a 5.8 aftershock three minutes later and 31 subsequent aftershocks that were not as severe.
