00:00Peace be upon you and welcome to a new episode of your show, What's Happening?
00:04Today's Monday, the 21st.
00:06Welcome to a new episode of the show, What's Happening?
00:10Today, today it is the 9th of Rabi Al Thani.
00:16Actually, a noticeable earthquake struck several hours ago, about six or seven hours ago.
00:25A strong earthquake hit Turkey this time.
00:28The earthquake measured five on the Richter scale, as we said.
00:33It hit Turkey and was at a depth of 10 kilometers.
00:38The earthquake struck at dawn today, around four o'clock in the morning, at dawn on Monday, local time in
00:47Turkey.
00:49As for the epicenter of this noticeable earthquake that many people felt, it was near the Turkish city of Kadirli.
00:56Perhaps most of the people or most of the Turkish citizens who felt this earthquake were there.
01:04They are residents of the Turkish province of Mersin, which overlooks the Mediterranean Sea.
01:12They felt it in Mersin, they felt it in Adana, and a few people felt it in Antalya.
01:20And in Kadirli and Mersin itself, they felt this earthquake.
01:24And in Osmaniye, and some in Gaziantep, and some in Elbistan.
01:30And even this earthquake, or the effect of this earthquake, was felt in some Syrian provinces, in Homs and in
01:39Aleppo as well.
01:40They felt this earthquake, and a few on the Syrian coast.
01:45Just, that's all.
01:52Some, yesterday, specifically in Aleppo province in Syria, there was confusion between the earthquake and the explosion.
02:01There was a huge explosion in Syria yesterday, around one o'clock a.m., but that was just an explosion.
02:09The earthquake, however, struck specifically around four o'clock a.m. in Turkey.
02:15So, some of the tremors that people in Aleppo felt were not because of the explosion, but because of the
02:25earthquake that struck Turkey.
02:27So, we don't mix up the two topics in any case.
02:30That's enough.
02:31One of the strange earthquakes that happened yesterday was the one that hit South Africa.
02:36It struck last night and hit South Africa with force.
02:445.7 magnitude on the Richter scale.
02:48It struck specifically at 12 past midnight today, Monday, around 12.05 or 12.10 after midnight.
02:55We had just entered a new day, which is Monday.
03:01And the earthquake struck South Africa or south of South Africa with a magnitude of 5.7 on the Richter
03:09scale.
03:10It hit the far southeast of the Indian Ocean, or rather the far southwest, sorry, the Indian Ocean.
03:18And it was about 800 or 900 kilometers away from South Africa, from Cape Town in South Africa.
03:26So, it's unlikely that anyone felt it in South Africa or even in Cape Town.
03:32But it's occurrence and impact, and we keep getting deeper into it.
03:38At the end of the Lunar Hijri month, we're almost at the 9th or 10th of Rabi Al-Thani.
03:45This gives me an indication, maybe, that we're approaching the middle of the Lunar Hijri month,
03:52and this could be a sign that it's possible, very significantly.
03:58We might witness a very strong or even devastating earthquake around the middle of this Lunar Hijri month,
04:05around the middle of Rabi Al-Thani.
04:08And let's not forget the earthquake that struck yesterday with a magnitude of 6.4 on the Richter scale.
04:15There was also an earthquake of this strength that hit Papua New Guinea.
04:18In any case, I'll keep you updated on everything that happens.
04:21This was Ahmad al-Dharm, back with you on the program, What's Happening.
04:25Stay well.
