A strong 6.1-magnitude earthquake has struck near Düzce in western Turkiye, with shaking felt as far away as Istanbul and Ankara, seismologists say.
The earthquake, which struck at 4:08 a.m. local time on Wednesday, was centered about 14 kilometers (9 miles) northwest of Düzce, or 51 kilometers (32 miles) northeast of Adapazan.
The U.S. Geological Survey put the magnitude at 6.1, while Turkey’s Kandilli Observatory put it slightly lower, at 6.0. It struck about 4 to 6 kilometers below the surface, making it a very shallow earthquake.
Düzce’s mayor, Faruk Özlü, said power went out in parts of the city and internet services were disrupted.
Shaking was felt across the region, including in Bolu, Gölcük, Gebze, Istanbul and Ankara, residents said. Many people said the shaking was strong enough to wake them up.
