It was reported that the earthquake took place at a depth of 5.33 kilometers.

While the Governor's Office announced that there were no negative incidents, Geophysics Engineer Prof. Dr. Ahmet Ercan shared a post on his social media account following the earthquake.

"SOONER OR LATER, AN EARTHQUAKE WILL HAPPEN"

Drawing attention to the earthquake that occurred in Adıyaman as well, Ercan stated, "Anatolia continues its widespread deformation at a national scale with the M4.0 in Adıyaman, the Bitlis-Zagros thrust, and the M4.5 in Sivas-Gürün on the North Anatolian Fault (NAF). Sooner or later, an earthquake will occur at the location where the tension overcomes the ground's resistance."

Anadolu ülke boyutunda yaygın getilmeyi Adıyaman M4,0, Bitlis-Zağros bindirmesi ile Sivas-Gürün'de M4,5, KAK üzerinde, sürdürüyor. Gerginliğin yer direcini yendiği konumda er ya da geç deprem olacak.
