The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Dhaka is in touch with the Embassy of Bangladesh in Ankara though it is "less likely" that any Bangladesh citizen would be affected due to the earthquake considering its location, said a spokesperson today.

"We are in touch with our mission," MoFA spokesperson Seheli Sabrin told UNB.

A powerful 7.8-magnitude earthquake rocked southeastern Turkey and northern Syria early today, toppling hundreds of buildings and killing hundreds of people.
