A moderate earthquake registering a magnitude of 5.0 struck Istanbul in the afternoon, causing alarm among the city's millions of residents. The epicenter of the quake was located in the Marmara Sea, approximately 6.7 kilometers beneath the surface, according to the Turkish Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD). The Kandilli Observatory reported a slightly higher magnitude of 5.3.
The tremors were felt across both the European and Asian sides of the city, prompting many individuals to evacuate buildings and gather in open areas. As of the latest reports, there have been no confirmed injuries or significant damage.
Turkey is situated in a geologically active region and frequently experiences earthquakes, some of which can be severe. Experts consistently issue warnings regarding the high likelihood of substantial seismic activity, particularly in the densely populated Marmara region surrounding Istanbul. A fault line running close to the city is considered a potential source for a future earthquake that could reach magnitudes of around 7.0. Earlier this year, in April, a stronger earthquake measuring 6.2 had already rattled the city.
Authorities are monitoring the situation closely, and residents are urged to remain vigilant as aftershocks are possible. The community's preparedness for such natural disasters is crucial, given the historical significance of seismic activity in the region.
