A 6.2-magnitude earthquake hit the Sea of Marmara near Istanbul yesterday, with its impact and that of multiple aftershocks forcing thousands out onto the streets in panic across Turkey’s largest city.
The quake was followed by more than 50 aftershocks, some very powerful, the interior minister said, although there were no reports of major damage or serious injury.
“An earthquake of 6.2 magnitude occurred in Silivri, Sea of Marmara, Istanbul,” Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said on X, adding that it was felt in the surrounding provinces.
