Dokuz Eylül University Earthquake Research and Application Center Director Prof. Dr. Regarding the earthquakes in Adana and Osmaniye, Hasan Sözbilir said, "Both the Saimbeyli Fault and the Savrun Fault are considered faults where energy accumulation occurred after the February 6 earthquakes. At this stage, earthquakes of similar magnitude may continue their activity in the form of earthquake storms." He said:

Sözbilir, who is also a member of the Earthquake Science Board of the Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency, stated in his written statement that 3 medium-sized earthquakes occurred in 24 minutes.

Noting that, according to the news in AA, these earthquakes were between the Savrun and Saimbeyli faults, Sözbilir said:

"After the Ekinözü earthquake of February 6, 2023, there were hundreds of earthquakes with a magnitude of up to 5 from the south of Göksun to Kozan-Kadirli. Both the Saimbeyli Fault and the Savrun Fault are considered faults with energy accumulation after the February 6 earthquakes. At this stage, earthquakes of similar magnitude may continue their activity in the form of earthquake storms. It is very important for the public not to panic and to act in line with the directives of the competent authorities."
