A 4.2-magnitude earthquake occurred in the eastern Turkish province of Agri, Turkish media reported on Oct. 18.

The tremors were registered at 11:03 local time. The depth of the earthquake source was 10 km.

Turkey is located in the seismically active zone, and the country often suffers strong earthquakes, which often lead to casualties. The strongest fluctuations of the Earth's crust in Turkey were recorded in 1999 in the Marmara Sea region. The magnitude of the tremors at that time was 7.4 points and caused the death of more than 18,000 people.
