A 4.8 magnitude earthquake struck Adana province in southern Turkey. The disaster and emergency authority AFAD confirmed it in a breaking news statement. Shakes of this size are usually felt clearly in built-up areas like Adana. The tremor was strong enough to alarm residents across the city. No figures on damage or injuries were included in the initial bulletin. AFAD teams normally check structures and aftershock activity in the hours that follow. The province lies in an active seismic zone, which is why tremors there receive close attention. Quakes near Turkish cities remain a sensitive subject for the public.
