A magnitude 5.3 earthquake has shaken the central Anatolian Turkish province of Nigde, the Kandilli earthquake monitoring centre said, just over two weeks after two devastating earthquakes that killed more than 50,000 people in Turkey and Syria.
Saturday’s earthquake had a depth of 7km (4.34 miles) and hit the Bor district at 1:27pm (10:27 GMT), the Turkish disaster management agency AFAD said. No casualties have been reported so far.
Vice President Fuat Oktay said response teams are on the ground to assess any damage.
“There is no negative situation at the moment. May God protect our country and our nation from all kinds of disasters,” he said on Twitter.
