According to the Istanbul Municipality, 151 injuries occurred when residents jumped from buildings in panic during the tremor. Officials urged the public to remain calm and follow safety protocols.

Wednesday’s quake reignited memories of Turkiye’s devastating seismic history, including the February 2023 earthquake that killed more than 55,000 people in southern Turkiye and northern Syria, and displaced hundreds of thousands—many of whom still live in temporary housing.

It also recalled the 1999 İzmit earthquake, which killed around 17,000 people and highlighted Istanbul’s vulnerability to major seismic events.
