Meanwhile, Rescuers from Turkiye's Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD) and Azerbaijan's Emergency Situations Ministry have begun search and rescue operations in an 8-story building in the province of Kahramanmaras in southeastern Turkiye.

Rescue dogs of the Cynological Service of the Azerbaijani Emergencies Ministry - Juna and Luna - help rescuers in search operations.
