A 5.8-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Marmaris in Türkiye’s southwestern Muğla province early Tuesday, causing widespread panic. According to Türkiye’s Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD), a 14-year-old girl was killed and dozens of others were injured.
The earthquake struck at a depth of 67.91 kilometers (42.1 miles) and 10.43 kilometers (6.48 miles) off the coast of Marmaris in the Mediterranean Sea. While it did not cause significant structural damage, fear and panic prompted many residents to jump from heights or rush out of buildings, Anadolu agency reported.
Mugla Governor Idris Akbiyik said 69 people were affected by the earthquake, with injuries largely resulting from panicked attempts to escape.
“A total of 55 citizens were admitted to hospitals — 10 by ambulance and 45 on foot,” he said. “Fourteen others declined transfer and received treatment at the scene. One person was hospitalized, 46 are being treated in the emergency room, and eight have been discharged.”
Initial assessments found only minor damage to two buildings in Marmaris, including wall cracks, but no significant destruction has been reported.
