==Earthquake==
The {{M|w|link=y}} 6.6 earthquake struck near the city of [[Bingöl]], [[Turkey]] at 18:44 local time. The depth it struck at varies depending on the agency, but it is agreed to be very shallow. The estimates are between {{convert|3|km|abbr=on}} and {{convert|10|km|abbr=on}}.<ref name="NGDC"/><ref name="usgs"/> The focal mechanism was likely strike-slip as this earthquake occurred on the East Anatolian Fault. There were two magnitude 5.1 aftershocks on the day of the mainshock.<ref name="usgs"/> The mainshock ruptured along a {{cvt|35|km|abbr=on}} × {{cvt|12|km|abbr=on}} area of the East Anatolian Fault. A second rupture area measuring {{cvt|20|km|abbr=on}} × {{cvt|12|km|abbr=on}} was detected to the northeast. The two rupture areas produced maximum slips of {{cvt|60|cm}} and {{cvt|40|cm}}, respectively.<ref name="Utkucu03" />
