A moderately strong, 5.8-magnitude earthquake struck in Turkey on Tuesday, according to the United States Geological Survey.
The temblor happened at 2:17 a.m. Eastern European time about 3 miles south of İçmeler, Turkey, data from the agency shows.
As seismologists review available data, they may revise the earthquake’s reported magnitude. Additional information collected about the earthquake may also prompt U.S.G.S. scientists to update the shake-severity map.
