A drone has spotted a residential building bending in a strange way on a fault line after the devastating earthquake that struck Turkey.

The clip was filmed in the Turkish city of Kahramanmaraş, where the building is located on the fault line and appeared fully bent on its side without being subjected to collapse or even any cracks.

Earlier, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced on Saturday that the earthquake's death toll in his country had risen to 21,900, and more than 80,000 injured had been rescued.

The earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria 5 days after its occurrence claimed the lives of more than 25,000 people, while causing the displacement of 5.3 million people in Syria.

The latest official figures indicate that the 7.8-magnitude earthquake has so far killed 25,453 people, including 21,900 in Turkey and 3,553 in Syria.
