Local residents said they heard a loud explosion in the earthquake.
After the Kahramanmaraş-centered earthquakes, a rift dividing the 35-decare olive orchard in the middle of the Tepehan Village of the Hatay Altınözü District was formed.
The pit with a depth of about 30 meters and a width of 200 meters made the citizens nervous. The resulting giant rift was also viewed from the air with a drone.
Some citizens said that they heard a big explosion sound during the earthquake and saw a green light again in the same area.
Aziz Gündüz, one of the residents of the region, said, "There was a huge explosion, I did not see it, but I heard a sound. When I looked this way in the morning, unfortunately, we saw such a ruin on this side. This way the field was flat. Now even the scoop won't go down. I don't know what happened," he said.
Another local resident named Abdullah Temizkan said, "The explosion came from here. There are those who saw it explode. I couldn't believe it. "There's green smoke coming out of here," he said.
