A huge 7.0 magnitude earthquake has struck Greece and Turkey with some buildings shaken so violently they have collapsed.
Footage showed how homes in İzmir, Turkey, were flooded in the aftermath of the tremor amid reports of a "mini-tsunami".
Locals said buildings shook for over two minutes during the quake which damaged buildings and forced people out into the streets. It is reported to have hit at 2pm local time.
At least three people were injured with fears that figure could climb higher with dozens of people feared trapped under the rubble.
The epicentre was just two kilometres off the coast of Samos, a Greek island which is a short distance from the Turkish mainland.
Distressing video showed how a 7-storey apartment complex in Izmir collapsed into rubble as terrified locals fled the area.
Debris and furniture is seen floating down the flooded streets with water as high as 5ft deep.
