Hulya Ozmet, later identified by the Anadolu News Agency, was rescued after the earthquake killed at least 27 people and injured around 800 more, The Guardian reported.

The earthquake's epicenter was in the Aegean Sea at 2.51 p.m. local time, 11 miles from Turkey's coastal city of İzmir in the Seferihisar district and at a depth of 10 miles, according to AFAD.

AFAD also recorded 407 aftershocks overnight with the Associated Press reporting that tremors in Istanbul, the Greek islands, Athens, and even in Bulgaria.

A teenage boy and a teenage girl were also killed on Samos. They were hit by a collapsing wall while walking home from school in the port town of Vathy, according to The Telegraph.

A small tsunami was also triggered elsewhere in Seferihisar and on the Greek island of Samos, with residents told to avoid coastal areas by Eftyhmios Lekkas, President of Greece's Earthquake Planning and Protection Organization, Reuters reported.
