Several weeks after a devastating earthquake that killed many people in the area, a 6 point 4 earthquake has hit southern Turkey.
The earthquake was reported to have happened at 20:04 local time (17:04 GMT), according to Turkey's disaster and emergency agency Afad.
Buildings in Antakya had sustained additional damage, witnesses told the Reuters news agency.
On February 6, an earthquake measuring 7.8 magnitude struck the area, killing more than 44,000 people in Turkey and Syria.
However, the BBC team in the area reported that today's tremor felt much stronger than previous ones. Turkish authorities have recorded more than 6,000 aftershocks since that earthquake struck.
Witnesses reported feeling it in Lebanon, Syria, and Egypt as well.
It is not yet known how much damage it has done or if any people have been hurt.
As a precaution against the possibility of sea levels rising, Afad urged people to avoid coastlines in a tweet.
Local resident Muna Al Omar told Reuters she was in a tent in a central Antakya park when the earthquake struck.
She sobbed as she held her seven-year-old son and said, "I thought the earth was going to split open under my feet.
She questioned, "Is there going to be another aftershock?".
An AFP journalist described scenes of panic in the already devastated city of Antakya as the most recent earthquakes caused dust clouds to rise in the area.
According to AFP, several people who appeared to be injured called for assistance as the walls of severely damaged buildings also collapsed.
According to Ali Mazlum, he was searching for family members' bodies from the previous earthquake when the most recent one struck.
"You are unsure of what to do. As soon as we held onto each other, the walls in front of us began to crumble. We had the impression that the earth was about to engulf us, the man claimed.
The capital of Turkey's Hatay Province, Antakya, was among the regions that were most severely affected by the earthquake on February 6.
According to the civil defense organization White Helmets, several people in Syria have been hurt by falling buildings.
