Turkish media report ongoing aftershocks following a 6.2 Richter quake off Silivri on April 23, with experts noting continued seismic activity in the Kumburgaz fault zone.
Istanbul residents spent a sleepless night in tents and parks after a 6.2-magnitude earthquake and over 120 aftershocks, fearing a larger quake. The Marmara fault, part of the active North Anatolian fault, could produce a magnitude 7 quake, potentially damaging the Hagia Sophia and older buildings. Geologist Naci Görür urged proactive preparation to build a seismically resilient city.
A 6.2 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Silivri, west of Istanbul, at noon, causing widespread panic in the city of 16 million.

A double earthquake measuring 4.2 on the Richter scale struck the sea area between Santorini and Amorgos early Thursday morning, just one minute apart. The tremors prompted authorities to declare a state of emergency in Amorgos, following a similar measure already in place for Santorini. Seismic activity in the region is being closely monitored.
A 4.8-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Amorgos on Tuesday morning (February 11), amid a swarm of seismic activity in the region. The Geodynamic Institute of Athens reported the quake had a focal depth of 16.2 km and an epicentre 12 km south of Arkesini. While no damage or injuries have been reported, authorities are closely monitoring the situation as aftershocks remain possible. Greece, a seismically active country, frequently experiences tremors, though most cause little impact.
Seismic activity continues in the Santorini-Amorgos region, with the strongest tremor so far recorded at 5.2 magnitude on February 4th.
