The latter. This one really isn't that big of a deal, it's in a super remote area and quite small. I'm not trying to handwave any loss of life that does happen, but no casualties yet and it seems unlikely - in 2015 a similar earthquake struck around the same spot and final casualties were 2 people (and many homes were destroyed). Still tragic for those affected, of course.
I realize that might sound callous, but it probably wouldn't have received coverage or interest if the ones in Turkey and Syria hadn't just happened.
