Foreign Office issues Turkey travel warning over nationwide earthquake drill

The UK's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has updated its advice for people travelling to Turkey ahead of an earthquake drill that is set to take place in the country.

The FCDO issued a warning on its website on Thursday that a nationwide earthquake drill will run this weekend. On Saturday, November 12 , sirens will sound across the country at 6.57pm local time.

Announcements will be made by Turkish TV and radio stations, and holidaymakers are urged to follow instructions from local authorities. Turkey is a popular destination for Brits, with more than 2.5 million people travelling to the country in the year before the pandemic in 2019.
