A magnitude 6.1 earthquake struck Balikesir, Turkey, resulting in one death and 29 injuries. An 81-year-old woman died after being rescued from rubble in Sindirgi, the quake's epicenter. Sixteen buildings collapsed, and President Erdogan expressed condolences and support for recovery efforts. Search and rescue operations have concluded with no further casualties reported, although significant damage was observed. Turkey frequently experiences seismic activity due to its location on tectonic plates.
