Turkey says 12 killed, 438 wounded in Aegean Sea earthquake

ISTANBUL, Oct 30 (Xinhua) At least 12 people were killed and 438 others were wounded at a strong earthquake that hit Turkey's western province of Izmir on Friday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.

At a televised speech in Istanbul, Erdogan said search and rescue operations are continuing in the ruins of 17 buildings.
