An earthquake has occurred in Turkey’s biggest city Istanbul where a fifth of the country’s population lives.
Turkey’s disaster agency on Wednesday recorded a series of tremors in a matter of minutes, along the coast of the Sea of Marmara, and close to Istanbul.
It is the second tremor of 6.2 magnitude that will be most worrying for Istanbul’s 16 million-strong population.
The interior minister says the quake was felt not just in Istanbul but in surrounding provinces too.
