The agency also received dozens of felt reports from as far away as Istanbul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earthquakes with similar characteristics have caused significant damage in T\u00fcrkiye in the past. However, there have been no official reports of casualties or major structural damage so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), T\u00fcrkiye lies in one of the most seismically active regions in the Mediterranean due to the ongoing collision between the African and Eurasian tectonic plates. This convergence has created complex fault systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In February 2023, a series of powerful earthquakes struck southern T\u00fcrkiye and northern Syria, beginning with a magnitude 7.8 quake near Gaziantep followed by a 7.5 aftershock hours later. The disaster devastated large areas across both countries, destroying tens of thousands of buildings and killing more than 55,000 people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A magnitude 6.1 earthquake struck northwestern T\u00fcrkiye, causing strong shaking near the epicenter and being felt as far away as Istanbul, according to preliminary reports.
