Two powerful earthquakes hit Türkiye early Monday, said the country's Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD). There is not immediate report of casualties.

A magnitude 7.4 quake struck the Pazarcik district of southern Kahramanmaras province at 04:17 (0117GMT), followed by another magnitude 6.4 quake which hit southern Gaziantep province at 04:26 (0126GMT), said the AFAD.

The Turkish authorities have not yet reported any deaths or injuries, but the state-run TRT broadcaster showed damaged buildings and people gathered on the streets.

"We dispatched all our search and rescue teams to earthquake zones. We set the highest alert," Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu told reporters.
