What to Know About the Latest Earthquake in Türkiye 2025
A powerful earthquake shook Türkiye's northwestern Balikesir province on Sunday night, killing at least one person, injuring dozens, and sending tremors as far as Istanbul and Izmir. The 6.1-magnitude quake struck near the inland district of Sindirgi at a shallow depth of about six miles, according to Türkiye's disaster agency AFAD. More than a dozen buildings and two mosque minarets collapsed in and around the epicenter, while residents across the Marmara and Aegean regions fled into the streets as strong aftershocks rippled through the night. Officials warned that the casualty toll could rise as inspections continue, and urged the public to avoid damaged structures amid ongoing aftershocks. Search and rescue teams, backed by local police and the Turkish gendarmerie, worked through the early hours to account for residents in the worst-hit areas. Below, see everything you need to know if you're traveling to Türkiye right now. This is a developing news story and will be updated with information as it becomes available. Which areas were impacted? As of Monday, August 11, authorities have now moved from active search-and-rescue operations into the damage assessment phase. In Sindirgi, entire blocks deemed unsafe remain sealed off behind police tape, with municipal teams carrying out door-to-door structural checks. Residents are being urged to stay well clear of any building showing visible damage until inspectors declare it safe, as aftershocks are expected to continue for several days. Officials are also warning of the heightened risk of falling debris, particularly around older or unreinforced structures. The worst impacts were concentrated in Sindirgi and parts of rural Balikesir, where damaged buildings, cordoned-off streets, and access restrictions remain in place.

Pinawa Fire Department rescues 5 from rapid waters at Pinawa Channel
The chief of a rural fire department is asking Manitobans to be prepared before heading out onto waterways, after five people had to be rescued from the Pinawa Channel on Saturday. "All water is dangerous, especially if you're a non-swimmer, and you have to respect it," Pinawa Fire & Rescue Service Chief Mike Purtill said on Sunday. According to Purtill, on Saturday Pinawa Fire & Rescue Service along with RCMP & EMS responded to a report of five adults stranded in the Pinawa Float Channel. He said the five, who were all related and all adults, ventured out onto the channel on tubes and quickly became overwhelmed by the speed of the current. Even more concerning, according to Purtill, was the fact that none of the five who were rescued knew how to swim, or were wearing floatation devices. "They were not prepared at all, no paddles, no life jackets," Purtill said. "And being non-swimmers, they were pretty concerned about their safety." According to Purtill, the group called 911, and fire crews were successfully reached the five stranded floaters, leading them to safety. "They're a family from Winnipeg that were coming to enjoy the day in Pinawa, and they didn't enjoy it so much, because they were stranded in the water which was fairly cool yesterday," he said. "It was cloudy and it was breezy and they were wet, so they were getting pretty cold by the time we got them out." He added he hopes to see fewer people headed out on waterways as unprepared as the five who were rescued Saturday, or it could lead to tragedy or possible fatalities. "People are not planning, or they do not have any respect for the water," he said. "They don't know how fast they can get into trouble and they're just ill-prepared. So if there was a message I wanted to get out, is that 'plan your day, have your life jackets handy.'" So far this year, Manitoba RCMP have issued public releases on seven drownings, including two incidents last weekend. Last Saturday, two men, one from Manitoba and one from Ontario, died after separate drowning incidents at Grand Beach Provincial Park and at Reynolds Ponds.

Turkey: 6.1 magnitude earthquake kills 1 in Balikesir
An earthquake with a 6.1 magnitude hit Turkey's western province of Balikesir on Sunday, killing one person. Over dozen buildings collapsed as a result of the quake. The epicenter of the tremor was the town of Sindirgi. It sent shocks that were felt all the way to Istanbul, some 200 kilometers (125 miles) away. What else do we know about the Balikesir quake? Turkey's Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said an 81-year-old person died after being pulled from under the rubble. Twenty-night people were injured, Yerlikaya said, adding that 16 buildings had collapsed. Search and rescue operations were concluded, with no further signs of serious damage or casualties, the minister said. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan wished all those affected by the earthquake well, saying that steps were immediately taken to help those affected. "May God protect our country from any kind of disaster," he posted on his X account. Earthquakes in Turkey are common as the country lies on top of major fault lines. More than 53,000 people were killed when an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 hit the country in 2023.
