Strong earthquake in Turkey kills 3, injures 75

04:12 20/05/2011


At least three people were killed and 75 injured when an earthquake measuring 6.0 points on the Richter scale hit western Turkey late on Thursday, Turkish state television said.

The earthquake occurred at 11.15 p.m. local time (20:15 GMT) about 80 kilometers (50 miles) to the west-southwest of the town of Kutahya, the U.S. Geological Survey said. At least six aftershocks, the strongest measuring 4.6 points on the Richter scale, followed the quake, Turkey's Kandilli earthquake observatory reported.

Turkey's state Anadolu Agency said a university building had collapsed in Kutahya as a result of the earthquake. No one was inside the building when the quake occurred, media reports said.
