Quake jolts Turkey

Baku, Azerbaijan, April 26

By Rufiz Hafizoglu - Trend:

A 4.1-magnitude earthquake occurred in Denizli province of Turkey on April 26, Turkish media reported.

Reportedly, one person was injured in the earthquake. No damages were reported.

A 5.1-magnitude earthquake hit Adiyaman province on April 14. The epicenter of the tremors was located 115 kilometers northwest of Turkey’s Gaziantep city. 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.
