The earthquake that occurred yesterday on the shores of Silivri in Istanbul is a continuation of the earthquakes that took place on April 23 of this year.

Axar.az reports that Turkish geologist Şener Üşümezsoy stated this.

According to him, there is a deep fault line in the region, and it is breaking in sections:

"This earthquake is a continuation of the ones in 2019 and on April 23. A 6-magnitude earthquake could occur in this sinking area. This is a deep fault. The fault is slowly breaking. The theory that a 7 or 7.2 magnitude earthquake will happen all at once has now been dismissed. Therefore, there is no reason to be alarmed."

Speaking about risky regions, the scientist specifically highlighted the Simav district of Kütahya:

"A 7.1 magnitude earthquake occurred in the eastern part of the Simav depression in 1971, near Simav Mountain. In the western part, a 6.5 magnitude earthquake occurred in those years. The active part I currently see is in front of Simav Mountain."
