The greatest damage was at Yığınçal village,[4] while Kutlubulak and Sağlıksuyu villages were also affected.[6] Kandilli Observatory stated that around 1000 buildings were damaged.[2] The earthquake was felt from Ağrı, Iğdır, Kars, and areas near Iran-Turkey border.[7] The intensity of the shock was reported as VII,[2] while the depth was reported as 5 km.[3][1] The earthquake happened during the local mountain pasture season where villagers were in the mountains, which prevented a higher number of casualties.[7] Various organizations sent relief to the area. Three ministers of Turkish government visited the area, Greece offered help and France sent messages of solidarity.[5]
