Main harbour on holiday island Kos, where two died and hundreds were injured, remains closed with flights also affectedKos is dealing with the aftermath of an earthquake that killed two people and injured hundreds on the Greek holiday island. The 6.7-magnitude quake left hundreds more injured in the Turkish resort of Bodrum, about 12 miles (20km) across the sea from Kos. The undersea quake struck at 1.31am on Friday between Kos and Bodrum, when many tourists in both places had been out enjoying the nightlife. Asylum procedures have been curtailed until at least Monday as the quake damaged passport inspection facilities at the harbour. Turkey and Greece sit on significant fault lines and are regularly hit by earthquakes.
