Moderate earthquake hits eastern Turkey, causing fear and small injuries.

A strong earthquake hit eastern Turkey, making people scared. Many people went to the hospital, but no one was badly hurt.

The earthquake happened in a town called Kale and was felt in other areas too. People ran outside their homes and schools were closed.

Around 190 people were affected by the earthquake, but most injuries were minor. Some people got hurt from jumping out of windows because they were scared.

Only a few buildings were damaged, and some people were rescued safely. The area had already been hit by a bad earthquake last year.

Many unsafe buildings were already gone because of the previous earthquake. Turkey has many earthquakes because it sits on fault lines.
