A sequence of seismic events was reported in two regions across the wider Black Sea area around Russia and Turkey. In the Krasnodar Territory, a magnitude 3.6 earthquake was recorded by the regional emergency authorities. The seismic event registered with an intensity around II to III on the European macroseismic scale, and its focal depth was measured at about 2 kilometers. The epicenter lay roughly 10 kilometers from the coastal town of Tuapse, according to a bulletin issued by the regional office of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and subsequently echoed by DEA News.
The ongoing update from emergency services noted that, based on preliminary information, there were no injuries reported at the time of the event. A later clarification from the same ministry placed the quake about 75 kilometers to the northwest of the city of Sochi, helping to map the area affected by this shallow seismic event. These details, while initial, are typical of early-stage disaster reporting and emphasize the importance of routine safety checks and building inspections following tremors of this scale. (DEA News)
Separately, Ankara’s disaster management authority, AFAD, reported a separate seismic event in Turkey. It involved a magnitude 4.5 earthquake in the Adana province, with the center located in the Saimbeyli district at a depth of approximately seven kilometers. Local residents experienced injuries in connection with this tremor, which occurred earlier in the day according to AFAD’s updates. This report highlights the regional variability in earthquake impacts across neighboring areas and underscores why monitoring agencies continuously analyze seismic data from multiple fault segments.
