Turkey Country Flag

A 6.2 magnitude earthquake has rattled much of Türkiye Wednesday morning, according to the United States Geological Survey.

The quake occurred at a depth of just 6.2 miles with the epicenter of the quake located approximately 14 miles southeast of Marmara Ereğlisi and 70 miles west of Istanbul.

No casualties have been reported so far, but hospitals reported that many patients were admitted due to anxiety and panic as citizens could be seen rushing into the streets and parks.

 

We would like to share that all PSA BDP employees in Türkiye are safe after the recent earthquake. Our local teams have been in close contact and continue to monitor the situation on the ground.

We are grateful for the safety of our colleagues and will share any additional updates as necessary.
