South Korea is providing satellite images to assist in ongoing disaster response efforts in quake-ravaged Türkiye.

According to the ICT ministry on Sunday, images of the devastated regions taken by Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite Five, also known as KOMPSAT-Five, have been shared for publication by “The International Charter Space and Major Disasters” since Tuesday.

Analyses of images of the Antakya region taken by KOMPSAT-Three had been used to support the South Korean disaster response team's operation in Türkiye.

Since Saturday, the land ministry has sent images from the medium-sized next-generation satellite number one to the defense ministry, the state fire agency and the Turkish government.
