A powerful earthquake shook western Turkey on Sunday, leaving at least four people injured and causing significant damage in Balikesir Province.

According to the Turkish Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD), the tremor registered a magnitude of 6.1 and was felt in Istanbul and several other cities. The epicenter was located in Balikesir, where the town of Sindirgi suffered the worst destruction.

"In Sindirgi, at least 10 buildings collapsed, with several houses damaged. There were six people under the rubble of one of the houses, with four rescued. We are trying to reach two others," Mayor Serkan Sak told Turkish broadcaster Haberturk. He added that contact had been lost with multiple villages in the area.
