6.2 quake strikes Instanbul

No deaths reported yet

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cm2yly2j4k9t

Several earthquakes have hit Turkey's largest city Istanbul - the strongest with a magnitude of 6.2
The tremors - also felt in the Turkish capital 275 miles away - sparked panic as people fled shaking buildings
No significant damage has been reported so far - but officials tell people to avoid buildings that could be unsafe
The BBC's Orla Guerin says she's never felt a quake as strong in her six years living in the city
Scientists have long said a big earthquake could hit the city at any time, so moments like this always strike fear into residents, our reporter Asya Robins says
