Earthquakes with magnitudes of 5.2 and 4.7 occurred 3 minutes apart, with the epicenter in the Battalgazi district of Malatya. About an hour later, Adıyaman was shaken by a 3.5 magnitude tremor.

Geophysicist Prof. Dr. Ahmet Ercan made a statement following the tremors. Warning the 11 provinces affected by the 7.7 and 7.6 magnitude Kahramanmaraş-centered earthquakes, Ercan pointed out that aftershocks, which could reach up to 6.3 in magnitude, will last for 2 to 3 years.

"STRUCTURES THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED EARTHQUAKES ARE FATIGUED"

Ercan stated the following:

"There was a M5.3 earthquake at 17:46 at a depth of 7 km in Sincik, Adıyaman, followed by a M4.7 aftershock. These are aftershocks of the earthquake that broke four faults and released a total tension of M8.0. Aftershocks in the 11 provinces will continue for 2 to 3 years, reaching up to M6.3. Structures that have experienced earthquakes are fatigued. Steel structures should be built."
