Magnitude 5.3 quake jolts central Turkey

A magnitude 5.3 earthquake has shaken the central Anatolian Turkish province of Nigde on Saturday, the Kandilli earthquake monitoring centre said.

The new tremor jolted just over two weeks after two devastating earthquakes that killed more than 50,000 people in Turkey and Syria.

The 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, reports Aljazeera.  

No casualties have been reported so far.

Turkey 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.
