Earthquake

In a study on active fault lines in the northwestern province of Bursa, a previously unknown fault line was discovered, which could cause a 7.3-magnitude earthquake.

A 4.2-magnitude earthquake shook the  southeastern part of Phocis, in central Greece, on Thursday. No injuries or damages were immediately reported.

The epicenter of the earthquake, which was registered at 5:07 a.m., was in the area of Metkovi, 5 kilometers southwest of Neum, at a depth of 6 kilometers, the EMSC announced.
Yesterday, the Seismological Service of Croatia recorded a weak earthquake of magnitude 2.6 on the Richter scale in the sea off the coast of Peljeac, southeast of uljan.

The devastating earthquakes that hit 11 southern provinces in February last year have impacted the labor market and the manufacturing sector in those regions, according to a report by the Presidency of Strategy and Budget.

The earthquakes killed nearly 54,000 people in early February in 2023.

A weak earthquake was felt last night in Plovdiv.

The earth shook with a magnitude of 3.6 on the Richter scale, according to data from the seismological center of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.

There are no reports of injured people or material damage.

Turkish provinces devastated by last year's earthquakes have seen a resurgence in their populations, says Atay Uslu, the head of the parliament's subcommittee on migration and adaptation.

Uslu revealed that regions that experienced rapid population decline post-earthquake have now begun to approach their former demographic levels.

The seismic gap extending to 130 kilometers in the Marmara Sea constitutes one of the main causes of the expected major earthquake, experts warned at a meeting held on the anniversary of the deadly Feb. 6 earthquakes that shook 11 southern provinces.

The devastating twin earthquakes in early February last year affected not only buildings but also the economy of southern Türkiye.

Before the earthquakes, Adıyaman's economy was based on two main pillars: Agriculture and livestock, and textile factories, which accounted for almost 90 percent of the city's industry. Food, construction and building materials were also produced.

Nektaria Stamouli, the deputy editor in chief of Kathimerini's English Edition and Politico's Eastern Mediterranean correspondent, joins Thanos Davelis to discuss a recent trip with a team of international journalists to southeast Turkey that looked into the ways last year's devastating earthquakes continue to impact Turkey and the region.

In the wake of the devastating earthquakes centered in Kahramanmaraş, volunteers and inhabitants of affected provinces strive to mend both the emotional and tangible wounds inflicted by the deadly tremors.
