Quake jolts Turkey

A 3.8-magnitude earthquake hit Izmir and Manisa provinces of Turkey, Turkish media reported on May 2.

Reportedly, no one got injured in the earthquake. No damages were reported.

Previously, a 5.1-magnitude earthquake hit Adiyaman province on April 14. Thirty-nine people were injured as a result of the earthquake.


Turkey is located in the seismically active zone, and the country often suffers strong earthquakes, which often lead to human casualties. The strongest fluctuations of the Earth's crust in Turkey were recorded in 1999 in the Marmara sea region. The magnitude of the tremors at that time was 7.4 points and caused the death of more than 18,000 people.
