    Turkey's state-run television says a powerful quake has killed 30
    people and injured 150 others in the eastern town of Ercis.

    The 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck eastern Turkey on Sunday,
    collapsing about 45 buildings, according to the deputy prime minister.

    The worst damage hit the town of Ercis, in the mountainous eastern
    province of Van, close to the Iranian border. State-run TRT television
    says at least 30 people were killed and 150 others were injured
