The death toll from Turkey’s deadliest earthquake in over a decade has reached 432 people, Today’s Zaman newspaper reported on Tuesday.

Previous reports put the number of those killed by Sunday’s 7.2-magnitude quake in the eastern Van province at 366.

The death toll is likely to rise as many people still remain unaccounted for.

The newspaper quoted data from the country’s Disaster and Emergency Administration saying more than 1,350 people had been injured and more than 2,260 buildings had collapsed as a result of the disaster.

Early on Monday, the province suffered another 6.1-magnitude earthquake.

The tremor was the country’s worst since the 1999 quake that left at least 17,000 people dead in north-western Turkey.
