Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Wednesday called on Muslim countries to help Albania, which was hit by an earthquake, killing at least 21 people.

Residents, some carrying babies, fled apartment buildings in Tirana and the western port of Durres after the 6.4 magnitude quake struck shortly before 4 a.m. (0300 GMT) on Tuesday.

The Balkan country was jolted by 250 aftershocks after the main tremor, Defence Minister Olta Xhacka said, two of them of magnitude 5, testing strained nerves.
