Earthquake hits Turkey and Rhodes / 1 victim and 69 injured reported

A 5.8 magnitude earthquake has struck Turkey and Rhodes. The earthquake has caused one victim. The 14-year-old girl had suffered a panic attack.

The earthquake, which had a depth of 68 km according to the European Seismological Center, was felt throughout the Dodecanese islands.

At least 69 people were injured after trying to jump from heights due to panic caused by the tremors, which were felt strongly on the Greek island of Rhodes - the largest of the Dodecanese islands near the Turkish border.

No injuries were reported in Rhodes.

Travel agency TUI urged tourists in the region to "remain calm and follow any safety instructions given by accommodation or local officials."

Greek seismologist Efthimios Lekkas told ERT News that the depth of the earthquake meant it was felt over a wider area.

"There will be no significant impact on the surface, no tsunami and, above all, no rich sequence of aftershocks," he noted.

Due to its considerable depth, the earthquake "was very intense for the residents of Rhodes and the surrounding areas. From now on, there will be no major damage."/ CNA
