People likely experienced very weak shaking there. Many smaller towns and villages are located closer to the epicenter and might have experienced stronger shaking.

It is commonly measured on the so-called Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) ranging from 1 (not felt) to 10 (extreme shaking), and given in Roman numerals as I,II,...IX, X, and often displayed with color codes ranging from light blue to dark red.Earthquake intensity depends mainly on the magnitude and depth of the quake as well as the distance from the epicenter: The further away, the less shaking intensity occurs.Read more about the MMI scale!Number of reports by intensityShaking intensityNumber of reportsMin-Max distance from epicenter (*)Average distance (*)IV: Light shaking1111–111 km (69–69 mi)111 km (69 mi)Notes(*) Reports are filtered to exclude those that are likely highly inaccurate or esaggerated.Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (1 in total) could be used for geographic statistics.I didn't feel itI felt this quakeIf you were near the epicenter and felt it, please share your experience and submit a short "I felt it" report! Other users would love to hear about it!If you did NOT feel the quake although you were in the area, please report it as well! Your contribution is valuable to earthquake science and seismic hazard analysis.Compare Quake DataData for the same earthquake as reported by different agenciesThe more agencies report about the same quake and post similar data, the more confidence you can have in the data. It takes normally up to a few hours until earthquake parameters are calculated with near-optimum precision.MagDepthTime GMT2025-08-3EpicenterAgency3.912 km7.6 mi19:25:54Erzin (Hatay)AFAD (Disaster and Emergency Management Authority)3.912 km7.6 mi19:25:54TURKEY-SYRIA BORDER REGION0 km (0 mi) epicenter difference with AFADEMSC (European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre)Earthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 55 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 2,600 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 6 or higher: 0.04 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 25 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 0.53 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 1.9 years)Mag. 4 or higher: 26 quakes per yearMag. 3 or higher: 166 quakes per year (or 13.8 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 934 quakes per year (or 78 quakes per month)Mag. 1 or higher: 2,500 quakes per year (or 6.9 quakes per day)The area where this quake occurred has a high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 5 quakes above magnitude 6 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 23 to 27 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquakeThe earthquake occurred 9 weeks after a magnitude 3.9 earthquake had hit on Thursday, May 29, 2025, at 08:32 pm (GMT +3 local time) in 76 km (47 mi) distance to the north:Mag. 3.9 earthquake 26 km northeast of Kozan - Adana, Turkey - May 29, 2025 - The strongest-ever (since 1900) recorded quake in this area measured magnitude 7.8.
