In Syria, the tremors were felt most strongly in the northeastern provinces, with Aleppo hit hardest. Many dead, hundreds of wounded, destroyed buildings are reported.

The Khmeimim air base, the military material support point in Tartus and other objects of the Russian Ministry of Defense were not damaged during the earthquake, there was no damage on their territory. The duty forces are serving in a regular mode, the personnel perform tasks as intended.

The earthquake that occurred on February 6 in the northwestern part of Syria did not affect the combat readiness of the Russian aviation Khmeimim base and other military facilities of the Russian group of troops stationed in the Syrian Arab Republic

- said in a statement.

Recall that the Russian military modernized the Khmeimim air base, renting it for 49 years. Starting in 2015, the Russian military expanded its helicopter base, built supporting infrastructure, and deployed defenses to stop attacks on the base. In addition, two runways were lengthened, which made it possible not only to receive any military transport aircraft, including Ruslan, but also to deploy strategic missile carriers at the air base.

There are no high-rise buildings at the base, which is understandable. On TV show the destruction in Syria, Turkey. There are many victims, and apparently, in the course of the analysis of the rubble, there will be more of them.

What's up with the multi-story buildings?
if you build without taking into account seismic, and apparently that’s how they build it, it will be so, they collected halabuds from sand and stones, the result is on the face
in alma-ata in the 90s it was a little less than 6,4, but there were not even mother-in-laws on any house, not to mention the fact that something would collapse
it is necessary to build taking into account the seismicity of the region, and not according to the principle - faster and cheaper

I agree with you.This moment is also present. I do not know them, Turkish and Syrian seismic standards in construction, but the houses, mind you, mostly MULTISTORIES, just fall down.

in those 6.4 I was on the 6th floor of an 8-storey building, we moved and all over the apartment there were boxes with things up to the ceiling, not a single one fell, the city was built taking into account 9 points.
by the way, I think that if Alma-Ata shakes now, only the Soviet tasks of the new building will resist - they will collapse

only Soviet missions will stand

In Frunze, at the same time, plaster was falling from the buildings and glass from the upper floors flew out of the windows ...

new buildings - collapse

The same suspicion .... control, as such, no!

Turkey is aware of at least 284 dead and 2323 injured,
in Syria, 237 people became victims of the earthquake, 639 were injured.
It's always a shame when this happens.

Strong earthquake hit Turkey last night

Turk Allah punished for the supply of Bayraktars to Ukraine

I don’t want to get involved in theological disputes, but I would agree with you if the buildings collapsed only directly from those who are directly involved in the supply of UAV data. From negotiations to assembly on the conveyor. And what do the villagers in the province have to do with it?

I do not know. But, most likely, Erdogan's son-in-law had money for the normal construction of shops for the production of bayraktars. Although ... It happens that billionaires save on pennies, in the sense of lira.
