Turkey's disaster management authority said, nearly 300 people were injured after a 6.4-magnitude earthquake struck the region again on Monday. <br />''<br />''The earthquake was reported just a few weeks after a strong quake of 7.8 magnitude claimed lives of over 45,000 people in both countries. The recent tremors were centred near the southern Turkish city of Antakya and were felt in Jordan, Cyprus, Israel, Lebanon and as far away as Egypt, and followed by a second, magnitude 5.8 temblor, and dozens of aftershocks.
