In 1999 the North Anatolian Fault (NAF), Turkey, broke during two destructive #earthquakes east of Istanbul (Mw7.4 Izmit and Mw7.2 Düzce earthquakes respectively on 17 Aug and 12 Nov).

Today's Mw6.1 #earthquake happened just east of Düzce with a faulting mechanism very similar to the 12 Nov 1999 event (strike-slip with small normal component). Its epicenter is located little to the north of the main NAF fault trace.
