Breaking news! A 4.9 magnitude earthquake occurred in Elazığ. This situation raises concerns about volcanic eruptions.

The Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) reported that the epicenter of the earthquake was Sivrice and it occurred at a depth of 11.31 kilometers. The tremor was felt in surrounding provinces.

Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes are among natural disasters. Such events are directly related to magma movements beneath the surface. Following the earthquake in Elazığ, volcanic activity is expected to increase.

Experts suggest that the earthquake in Elazığ may be an aftershock of the major earthquake that occurred five years ago. These tremors could also be linked to volcanic movements in the region.

AFAD stated that there are no adverse conditions following the earthquake and that field scanning operations are ongoing. Citizens are urged to remain cautious.
