More from The New York Times:

The shaking on Monday spread terror across the quake zone, where many people, traumatized by the initial quake, are staying in tents and sleeping in their cars because they remain too scared to to go inside any buildings.

People in tears evacuated a hotel in Adana, where a number of buildings had collapsed in the initial quake. The authorities in Turkey warned residents of the quake zone to stay away from damaged structures and the country's national disaster management organization warned people in a tweet to stay away from Mediterranean coastline, fearing that the sea level could rise.

There have been no reports yet of any casualties in the most recent quake.

From NBS News:

The Turkish government did not immediately post information about possible damage or injuries from the latest quake. Since the 7.8-magnitude earthquake on Feb. 6, thousands of less intense quakes have taken place, according to the government.
