Across Istanbul, residents are still reeling from the powerful 6.2-magnitude earthquake that struck just after noon. Selin Tüter was working in an office building on the European side of the city when the quake struck.
At first she felt the ground give way, throwing her off balance. Then she heard a deep rumble, "like something was hitting from below."
"When this happened, a lot of people panicked. A lot of people started running to get out," she tells the BBC.
She explains that many people in Istanbul are wary of earthquakes after massive tremors that killed 55,000 people in Turkey and Syria in 2023.
"Most people living in Istanbul know that a major earthquake is expected. People are wondering if this is a foreshock."
The Turkish disaster agency has recorded three more earthquakes after the 6.2 magnitude quake, all in the Buyukcekmece district of Istanbul.
