Early reports quoted Pulumur Mayor Mesut Coskun as saying the earthquake had damaged several buildings and that there was an urgent need for tents, as people were too scared to go back to their homes despite the low temperatures.
Prema navodima iz prvih izveštaja sa lica mesta, gradonačelnik Mesut Čoskun rekao je da je zemljotres oštetio nekoliko zgrada i da su hitno potrebni šatori, jer su ljudi suviše uplašeni da se vrate u svoje kuće, uprkos niskim temperaturama.
