A new earthquake with a magnitude of 7.6 struck the southern Kahramanmaraş province at 1.24 p.m. local time. The earthquake's epicenter was recorded as the Elbistan district by the Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD). 

Kandilli Observatory gave the magnitude of the second big earthquake as 7.5. Since the quake happened as several reporters were in the region, it was recorded on live cameras by many media outlets.
