Shafaq News/ A mild tremor were felt along the Syrian-Turkish borders once again, three weeks after the country was shaken by one of the worst natural disasters to hit them as per the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC).

An earthquake was reported 14 kilometers northeast Turkey's Antakya. The magnitude of the earthquake was reported to be 4.1 on the Richter scale at a depth of about 10 km.
