“Now we are seeing repeated activity in the earthquake zone in Turkey, which may have led to such a reaction in our region,” TASS quoted Gorelova as saying.
She added that more accurate data on fixed points off the coast of the peninsula can only be given after careful processing of all data.
Gorelova also urged residents to remain calm.
On February 27, the head of the Institute of Seismology and Geodynamics of the Crimean Federal University (KFU), Yuri Volfman, announced an earthquake in the region with a magnitude of 3.5.
