Turkey is shaking! The groan of the earth swept through Erzurum! People did not expect this!

In the Turkish province of Erzurum, a powerful earthquake occurred in the evening. The magnitude reached 4.9 on the Richter scale. The epicenter of the tremors was in the Chat area at a depth of 15 km. So far, there is no information about casualties or damage. Tremors were also felt in nearby provinces. The aftershock destroyed several houses and six livestock shelters, and four villagers were injured, including one woman who is still recovering at Erzurum University Hospital. Seismic hazard in Turkey is highest along plate boundaries, but there is a significant risk of devastating earthquakes throughout the country. One of the villagers whose property was damaged by the earthquake, Orhan Kurmanci, is calling on the government to provide them with financial compensation as the earthquake destroyed their livelihoods.
