According to data from AFAD, a 3.7-magnitude earthquake occurred in Marmaraereğlisi, Tekirdağ. The tremor at 11:36 AM was recorded at a depth of 18 kilometers.

While the earthquake, which was also felt in Istanbul, caused brief panic, all eyes turned to experts. In particular, whether this earthquake was a precursor became a subject of curiosity.

Regarding the matter, Prof. Dr. Övgün Ahmet Ercan made a statement on his X account. Ercan said, "It is an aftershock of the decaying main earthquake. Everything is normal, there is no need to panic."

The full text of Ercan's statement is as follows:

"Today, an earthquake of M4.0 at its smallest size occurred in the west, in the direction of M.Ereğlisi, at the focus of the M6.2 earthquake off the coast of Silivri. It is an aftershock of the decaying main earthquake. Everything is normal, there is no need to panic.
