The earthquake occurred in the Pazardzhik region at 9.31. An earthquake of magnitude 5 was recorded with an epicenter at a depth of 7 km.

In eastern Turkey, in the province of Kahramanmaraş, where the epicenters of the devastating earthquake in February last year were located, tremors measuring 5 points on the Richter scale were recorded. This was reported by the Directorate for Disaster and Emergency Management (AFAD).

It is known that the earthquake occurred in the Pazardzhik area at 9.31. An earthquake of magnitude 5 was recorded with an epicenter at a depth of 7 km.

It was said to have been preceded by a magnitude 3.8 earthquake that occurred on 09.02. At least four more earthquakes of lower magnitude were recorded in the province – up to 2.5 points.

According to the TRT Haber TV channel, the earthquake caused panic among the local population. The tremor was felt in the provinces of Kahramanmaras, Adana, Osmaniya, Gaziantep, Adiyaman, Kilis and Sanliurfa.

Damage assessment is ongoing, but no injuries have been reported.

We remind you that in the southeast of Turkey last year on the night of February 6, an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 occurred, the strongest in the country since 1939. More than 2,300 people died.

As reported, in August an earthquake with a magnitude greater than 5 on the Richter scale occurred in Syria. A weak tremor was felt in Aleppo, 121 km from the epicenter. Residents of northern Israel and Lebanon also felt the tremors.
