It measured 6.1 on the surface wave magnitude scale and was felt as far away as eastern Greece.

Geology
The Biga Peninsula is an area marked by active faults including strike-slip movement and en echelon divergent basins.
The earthquake was preceded by a foreshock nearly a year prior, and was followed by aftershock clusters.
Damage
Five people died[1] and 30 were injured. Several houses collapsed, an additional 85 damaged, water mains broke and windows shattered.[2][3] Among the dead was a farmer who was crushed by a collapsing roof.[4] It also caused panic as far away as Istanbul and in eastern Greece. In Istanbul, there was some damage and people fled onto the streets.[2][1]
