New Earthquake Strikes Istanbul
Istanbul – SABA:
A new earthquake with a magnitude of 4.3 on the Richter scale struck the Turkish city of Istanbul on Friday.
According to Russia's "RIA Novosti" agency, the tremor was felt strongly in the western part of the city at around 8:33 PM local time.
The agency noted that the quake was weaker than the one that hit the city last Wednesday.
Experts from Turkey's Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) confirmed the quake's magnitude at 4.3 and reported continued aftershocks in Istanbul, following a 6.2-magnitude quake earlier this week that injured 200 people.
AFAD also recorded a series of seismic tremors outside the city, reaching up to 4.5 in magnitude.
Amid rising fears of a stronger earthquake, many residents once again chose to spend the night outdoors, according to Turkish media reports.

UK is witnessing another day most hot this year
London - (Saba): The UK Met Office forecasted on Friday that temperatures could reach up to 33°C, putting the country on track to break the record for the hottest day of the year for the second consecutive day. On Thursday, temperatures hit 32.2°C in Kew, West London, prompting an amber heat-health alert — between yellow and red — across all regions of England. According to Britain's PA Media, the alert, issued by the UK Health Security Agency for the first time since September, will remain in effect until 9 a.m. (0800 GMT) on Monday. The warning notes the possibility of 'significant impacts' on health and social care services due to the high temperatures, including a rise in mortality rates — particularly among those aged 65 and older, and individuals with pre-existing health conditions. Met Office meteorologist Dan Stroud predicted that several areas would exceed the official heatwave thresholds by Friday afternoon. A heatwave is officially declared when regions meet specific temperature criteria for three consecutive days. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
