The tremors have damaged many buildings. Local residents search for those who may have been under the rubble.
Some buildings were destroyed or cracked. A bridge collapsed, either for pedestrians or for cars.
It can be seen that the high-rise residential building “moved” like a house of cards.

In Izmir, due to the earthquake, a column of dust was raised, due to the collapsed buildings.
Some Turks were more fortunate: cupboards were opened in their offices and houses, groceries and dishes spilled from kitchen cupboards, chandeliers on the ceilings vibrated.
The tremors were reflected not only on land, but also in the sea, in whose depths the earthquake occurred. As a result, a tsunami occurred: the water flooded residential areas.
On the Greek island of Samos, a famous sanctuary, the Church of the Virgin Mary, has been partially destroyed.

In other countries, where milder tremors were felt, no damage was reported.
Very often, the inhabitants of the Odessa region feel the earthquake in Turkey or Romania. So, for example, the last time was in April 2020. The current tremors miraculously overtook Ukraine.

As for Turkey, the last time a more serious, magnetic 6.8-point earthquake occurred in January. Then more than fifteen hundred people were injured, about forty citizens died.
