Earthquake of 5.2 hits Turkey and Syria

Southern Turkey was subjected to a series of earthquakes ranging in strength from 4.4 to 5.2 magnitude on the Richter scale. These tremors occurred repeatedly over short periods on Sunday, with noticeable effects felt in northern Syria where residents experienced them. The Turkish Disaster Management Authority, AFAD, confirmed that the quakes began at 2:19 PM, with three major earthquakes occurring within half an hour, measuring between 4.8 and 5.2 in magnitude, at depths between 7 and 9 meters. These movements are described as a "swarm" within a tectonically active zone, with predictions that activity will gradually decline over 24 to 48 hours, although there's a possibility that the activity may persist even as it eases. So far, no human or material damages have been reported, and Turkish authorities confirmed that there are no injuries or significant damages after field surveys.
