Earlier, Regnum News Agency reported that the resort city of Izmir in Turkey is in the risk zone for a strong earthquake, which could be even stronger than the earthquake in Istanbul predicted by seismologists. According to calculations by the Istanbul mayor's office, in the event of an earthquake of magnitude 7.5, at least 90 thousand buildings in the city will collapse, and about 4.5 million residents could be left homeless.
On January 19, two earthquakes and six weak aftershocks were recorded on the southern coast of Crimea in the Yalta region. The first tremor occurred at 04:59 Moscow time, its magnitude was 2.8, followed by six aftershocks. Another weak tremor with a magnitude of 2.0 occurred at 12:09 Moscow time.
