A magnitude 6.1 earthquake struck western Turkey injuring at least 50 people. Tremors were strong enough to be felt in Istanbul and the capital Ankara. Estimates of the quake's depth vary from 2-10 km. Power was disrupted in the region and one resident was injured from jumping off of a balcony. Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu told broadcaster TRT Haber there was no severe damage caused by the quake. Authorities are working to restore power to the area. Turkey's disaster agency said that 37 people were injured in Duzce, one in Instanbul, six in Zonguldak, one in Sakarya on the Black Sea coast, and one in Bolu to the southeast. Photos from Duzce at night showed people huddled outdoors wrapped in blankets and using makeshift fires to keep warm. Meanwhile, the death toll in Indonesia has risen to 268. Many of those killed in Monday's quake in West Java were school children. Safety standards for school buildings are being questioned as army personnel were deployed to aide rescue efforts.
