Up to 1,000 people are feared dead in a powerful earthquake in eastern Turkey, according to initial estimates.

 

Turkey's Kandilli Observatory said the death toll could be between 500 and 1,000. At least 35 buildings are reported to have collapsed.

 

The earthquake, with a preliminary magnitude of 7.2, struck in the Van province near the Iranian border on Sunday. The epicentre was below the village of Tabanli, near the city of Van.

 

"The quake was strongly felt in Van and neighbouring towns and caused damage and deaths, based on initial assessments," the Turkish prime minister's office said.

 

Ten buildings collapsed in Van and 25-30 in neighbouring Ercis, officials said. Several strong aftershocks were reported.

 

"There are so many dead. Several buildings have collapsed. There is too much destruction," Zulfikar Arapoglu, the mayor of Ercis, told NTV television. "We need urgent aid. We need medics."
