The AFAD Earthquake Department announced that a 4.5 magnitude earthquake occurred in the Pasinler district of Erzurum at 04:30. The depth of the tremor was measured at 14.81 kilometers. The earthquake, which occurred in the early morning, caused concern among the local population, and notable statements came from geological engineer Prof. Dr. Osman Bektaş.

"THERE MAY BE A 7 MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE IN ERZURUM"

Osman Bektaş stated that the earthquake in Erzurum was triggered by the effects of the February 6 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes on the East Anatolian fault. Reminding that medium-sized earthquakes have occurred in the Erzurum region, Bektaş said that there could be an earthquake of magnitude 6 or 7 in the city. Bektaş expressed, "The 7.8 magnitude Kahramanmaraş and 7.5 magnitude Elbistan earthquakes on the East Anatolian Fault have caused a significant increase in stress on the northeastern extension of the fault, and medium-sized earthquakes have occurred in the Erzurum region. The Erzurum region could produce delayed aftershocks of M6-7 earthquakes."
