Turkey was hit by a powerful M5.2 earthquake in the same place as a year ago, in Malatya A magnitude 5.2 earthquake struck Turkey's eastern Malatya province, nearly a year after devastating major earthquakes rocked the region. The governor of Malatya said that they felt the earthquake “very seriously” and were ready to urgently evacuate people. The earthquake likely occurred on a fault section that was not destroyed by the February 6, 2023 earthquakes. It is necessary to stay away from damaged buildings. On Feb. 6, such great energy emerged that the aftershock process has not finished yet. #Istanbul #turkey #malatya #Kahramanmarash #gaziantep #hatay #Yeshilyurt #earthquake #news #Naturaldisasters #elbistan A natural disaster is a serious adverse event caused by natural processes on Earth; examples include floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, storms, rain, hail, wildfires, waves, wind, snow, weather, and other geological processes.
