The aftershock process continued after the second strong earthquake. GS RAS registered 43 aftershocks with М>=4.5 within 26 hours after the second main shock.

According to TASS50 399 people died and 115 000 were injured after a series of earthquakes in Turkey, 9914 people died and more than 10 thousand were injured in Syria.
Destructions were registered in many Turkish provinces: Adana, Gaziantep, Diyarbakir, Kahramanmarash, Malatya, Sanliurfa. More than five thousand buildings collapsed, including multi-storey buildings, administrative buildings and hospitals.
The aftershocks destroyed several buildings in the provinces of Aleppo, Idlib, Latakia and Hama in Syria.
According to Radio Sputnik 10 consolidated detachments from among the military personnel of the Russian Armed Forces were formed in Syria, which began to carry out the tasks of clearing the rubbles, searching for the victims and providing them with medical assistance in the areas that suffered the most destruction. In the course of rescue operations, 27 rubbles were dismantled, 42 people were rescued from the rubble, 57 bodies of the dead were removed, and medical assistance was provided to 194 residents. Donor blood collection points have been set up in Aleppo, Hama, Jebla and Stamu, and more than 11 tons of food and essentials have been given to local residents. A group of Russian rescuers In Turkey provides assistance in the Turkish Kahramanmarash.
According to RIA Novosti the earthquake in Turkey was felt in Abkhazia and Georgia.
According to GS RAS the earthquake was also felt in Sochi, Khost, Adler and Sirius with a magnitude of 2-3 MSK.
The earthquake was felt in Greece, Egypt, Romania, Iraq, Iran, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon and Cyprus.

Focal mechanism solution of the origin was calculated in GS RAS with signs of initial arrivals of P waves at 98 stations, including 58 stations which registered compression waves (plus signs), and 40 stations which registered tensile waves (minus signs). The stations are located in the interval of epicentral distances of 3.2-89.4º and in azimuth sector Az=0.8-358.1º. Focal mechanism solution in stereographic projection on the lower hemisphere and elements of the mechanism are presented in the table. The table also contains focal mechanism solutions obtained at the USGS NEIC with WW-phase Moment Tensor (Mww) technique and in Lamont-Dohert Earth Observatory of Columbia University, USA (LDEO GCMT) with СМТ (Centroid moment tensor) technique. Solutions from different centers are close. The earthquake occurred under the action of similar in magnitude compressive stresses oriented SW (AZ=214-232º) and compression stresses oriented E-SE (AZ=191-121º) according to GS RAS and LDEO GCMT and SE (AZ=141º) according to USGS NEIC. One nodal plane NP1 strikes W-SW (STK=250º) according to GS RAS and SW (STK=261-277º) according to USGS NEIC and LDEO GCMT, another plane NP2 strikes north (STK=352-358º) according to GS RAS and LDEO GCMT and south (STK=186º) according to USGS NEIC. According to GS RAS and LDEO GCMT NP1 plane is dipping less steeply (DP=42-59º) if compared with NP2 (DP=71-84º) while according to USGS NEIC both planes are steeply dipping to the horizon (DIP=78-87º). The type of mtion along NP1 is left lateral slip, along NP2 right lateral slip with normal fault component according to GS RAS and LDEO GCMT and right lateral slip according to USGS NEIC. Seismic moment from USGS NEIC data makes Mo=2.637*10**20 N*m, Mw=7.6 and according to LDEO GCMT it makes Mo=4.97*10**20 N*m, Mw=7.7.
