6.1 magnitude earthquake strikes northwest Turkey

A 6.1-magnitude earthquake struck Turkey's Balikesir province on Sunday, causing buildings to collapse. At least two people were trapped in the rubble of a collapsed building.

The earthquake, with its epicenter in the city of Sindirgi, caused tremors that were felt about 200 kilometers away in Istanbul, a city of more than 16 million inhabitants.

The mayor of Sindirgi, Serkan Sak, told the Turkish news agency HaberTurk that four people were rescued from a collapsed building in the town, while rescue teams were trying to find two more people from the structure.

Several houses also collapsed in the nearby village of Golcuk.

Turkey's Disaster and Emergency Management Agency said the earthquake was followed by several aftershocks, including one with a magnitude of 4.6, and urged citizens not to enter damaged buildings. /CNA
