A 6.4-magnitude earthquake struck the border region of Turkey and Syria on Monday, just two weeks after the area was devastated by a larger quake that killed more than 47,000 people. A camera mounted in a car has captured the exact moment the fresh earthquake struck Turkey. Watch the viral video.

The Hatay region, which was already recuperating from the catastrophic earthquake that hit on February 6 and left over 47,000 people dead in Turkey and Syria, has experienced 32 aftershocks, according to the Turkish disaster management organisation AFAD.

Two weeks after the large earthquake, two twin aftershocks struck, leaving 213 people wounded and three dead. Around 8:04 p.m. (local time), a magnitude-6.4 earthquake hit Hatay, and three minutes later, another earthquake of a similar magnitude impacted the Samandag district of the same city.
