Turkey Struck by 6.1 Magnitude Earthquake: What To Know
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A 6.1 magnitude earthquake rattled Turkey Sunday, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS) earthquake map. The quake struck at a depth of about 6 miles, or 10 km, just 10 km south of Bigadiç, the map showed. Bigadiç is just over 200 miles southwest of Istanbul, the country's largest city. No injury or damage reports were immediately available. The latest earthquake comes as a wave of seismic activity has struck across the globe in passing weeks, including an 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Russia that prompted tsunami warnings and evacuations along the west coast earlier in the month. Turkey sits on top of the North Anatolian Fault (NAF) and the East Anatolian Fault (EAF), making it prime for seismic activity. This is a breaking news story. Updates to come.
