A magnitude-5.2 earthquake shook Türkiye’s eastern province of Van on Saturday, the Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD) said.

There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage, AFAD said in a statement, adding field assessments are ongoing, The Caspian Post reports, citing Daily Sabah.

The quake hit Tuşba district at 8:52 am (0552 GMT) at a depth of 7 kilometers, with tremors felt in nearby provinces, the authority added.

Türkiye sits on the notorious Northern Anatolian fault line.

The tremor follows the devastating 2023 twin earthquakes in the region. The quakes killed more than 50,000 people in Türkiye alone and caused widespread destruction across south-eastern Türkiye and northern Syria.

Scientists have been warning against a pending destructive quake in the country's top metropolis, Istanbul.
