Recentes grandes sismos na Turquia
February 6, 2023 - O sismo de magnitude 7,8 que matou mais de 2.300 pessoas na Turquia e no noroeste da Síria, foi um dos piores a atingir a Turquia nos últimos anos. Foi seguido por outro grande sismo de magnitude 7,7.
The quake, which hit in the early darkness of a winter morning, was also felt in Cyprus and Lebanon.
It was Turkey's most severe quake since 1999, when one of similar magnitude devastated Izmit and the heavily populated eastern Marmara Sea region near Istanbul, killing more than 17,000.
