Just 17 minutes ago, a 4.2-magnitude earthquake struck near Bayındır, İzmir, Turkey. The tremor was recorded early afternoon on Wednesday, October 18th, 2023, at 3:55 pm local time, at a very shallow depth of 9.7 km below the surface.
The event was filed by the United States Geological Survey, the first seismological agency to report it.
A second report was later issued by Turkey's Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD), which listed it as a magnitude 4.2 earthquake as well.
