The tremor occurred at approximately 7 PM local time (Istanbul time) and was felt across a wide area, including the major city of Istanbul, located about 200 kilometers (125 miles) away. The shallow depth of the quake, reported at 11 km (7 miles), contributed to its strong impact near the epicenter.
- Impact and Damage: Reports indicate that at least one building collapsed in Sındırgı, and local media cited an unnamed mayor stating that 10 buildings had been destroyed by the quake. Footage from social media showed a property caved in, and search and rescue operations were underway. The extent of injuries and damage is currently developing, with some sources reporting no immediate injury or damage reports , while others confirm at least 35 injuries from a similar past event , highlighting the need for updated information.
- Seismic Activity: The earthquake was followed by several aftershocks, including one measuring 4.6, prompting Turkey’s Disaster and Emergency Management Agency to urge citizens not to enter damaged buildings. The region lies on active fault lines, including the North Anatolian Fault, making it prone to seismic activity.
