On Monday, the Turkish Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) announced the recording of a 5.0 magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale in the Mediterranean Sea, approximately 188 kilometers from the Datça district in Muğla Province.

The agency clarified that the earthquake occurred at a depth of 5.39 kilometers, at a latitude of 35.12889°N and a longitude of 26.62972°E.

It is worth noting that in February 2023, Turkey was struck by a massive earthquake with a magnitude of around 8.0, which resulted in thousands of deaths and injuries. 

Its impact extended into Syria as well, due to the epicenter’s proximity to the Turkish-Syrian border. This earthquake is considered one of the strongest in the history of both Turkey and Syria.
