People likely experienced weak shaking there. Many smaller towns and villages are located closer to the epicenter and might have experienced stronger shaking. In the capital of Turkey, Ankara, 387 km (241 mi) away from the epicenter, the earthquake was probably felt as very weak shaking.The following table shows some of the places that might have been affected (or not) by the shaking.DistancePlaceMax. shaking intensity(*)RegionCountry16 km (10 mi)S of epicenterAndirin(pop: 8,660)IV: LightAndirin Ilcesi, KahramanmarasTurkey28 km (17 mi)NW of epicenterHimmetli(pop: 1000)IV: LightSaimbeyli, AdanaTurkey36 km (22 mi)NW of epicenterSaimbeyli(pop: 5,420)IV: LightAdanaTurkey37 km (23 mi)W of epicenterFeke(pop: 4,590)IV: LightAdanaTurkey38 km (23 mi)NE of epicenterGoeksun(pop: 34,200)IV: LightGoeksun Ilcesi, KahramanmarasTurkey43 km (26 mi)SW of epicenterKadirli(pop: 70,200)IV: LightOsmaniyeTurkey49 km (31 mi)N of epicenterYesilova(pop: 15,200)IV: LightTufanbeyli, AdanaTurkey53 km (33 mi)SW of epicenterKozan(pop: 88,100)IV: LightAdanaTurkey57 km (36 mi)N of epicenterCatalcam(pop: 1,410)III: WeakTufanbeyli, AdanaTurkey62 km (38 mi)N of epicenterTufanbeyli(pop: 5,160)III: WeakAdanaTurkey62 km (39 mi)S of epicenterBahce(pop: 13,100)III: WeakAdanaTurkey71 km (44 mi)SE of epicenterNurdagi(pop: 12,800)III: WeakNurdagi Ilcesi, GaziantepTurkey73 km (46 mi)S of epicenterToprakkale(pop: 8,580)III: WeakOsmaniyeTurkey77 km (48 mi)SW of epicenterImamoglu(pop: 31,900)III: WeakImamoglu, AdanaTurkey79 km (49 mi)NE of epicenterAfsin(pop: 39,600)III: WeakAfsin Ilcesi, KahramanmarasTurkey81 km (50 mi)SE of epicenterNarli(pop: 6,780)III: WeakPazarcik Ilcesi, KahramanmarasTurkey83 km (52 mi)W of epicenterAladag(pop: 4,450)III: WeakAladag, AdanaTurkey85 km (53 mi)S of epicenterErzin(pop: 26,300)III: WeakHatayTurkey85 km (53 mi)E of epicenterCaglayancerit(pop: 15,500)III: WeakCaglayancerit Ilcesi, KahramanmarasTurkey86 km (53 mi)NE of epicenterEkinoezue(pop: 6,300)III: WeakEkinoezue Ilcesi, KahramanmarasTurkey88 km (55 mi)SW of epicenterCeyhan(pop: 96,300)III: WeakAdanaTurkey90 km (56 mi)E of epicenterPazarcik(pop: 23,900)III: WeakPazarcik Ilcesi, KahramanmarasTurkey93 km (58 mi)NW of epicenterTomarza(pop: 11,800)III: WeakKayseriTurkey95 km (59 mi)NW of epicenterYahyali(pop: 25,000)III: WeakKayseriTurkey95 km (59 mi)NE of epicenterElbistan(pop: 80,500)III: WeakKahramanmarasTurkey95 km (59 mi)SW of epicenterSaricam(pop: 8,360)III: WeakSaricam, AdanaTurkey97 km (60 mi)S of epicenterAkbez(pop: 10,200)III: WeakHassa Ilcesi, HatayTurkey98 km (61 mi)S of epicenterDoertyol(pop: 56,500)III: WeakDoertyol Ilcesi, HatayTurkey104 km (65 mi)NW of epicenterDeveli(pop: 35,900)III: WeakKayseriTurkey119 km (74 mi)SE of epicenterGaziantep(pop: 2,130,400)III: WeakGaziantepTurkey119 km (74 mi)SW of epicenterAdana(pop: 1,816,800)III: WeakAdanaTurkey119 km (74 mi)SW of epicenterAdana(pop: 1,816,800)III: WeakAdanaTurkey121 km (75 mi)SW of epicenterKirecocagi(pop: 45,500)III: WeakCukurova, AdanaTurkey126 km (78 mi)S of epicenterİskenderun(pop: 251,700)III: WeakHatayTurkey132 km (82 mi)SE of epicenterKilis(pop: 111,600)III: WeakKilisTurkey134 km (84 mi)NW of epicenterKayseri(pop: 1,434,400)III: WeakKayseriTurkey135 km (84 mi)S of epicenterKirikhan(pop: 60,900)III: WeakKirikhan Ilcesi, HatayTurkey146 km (91 mi)W of epicenterNigde(pop: 91,000)III: WeakNigdeTurkey150 km (93 mi)S of epicenterArsuz(pop: 109,600)III: WeakHatayTurkey387 km (241 mi)NW of epicenterAnkara(pop: 3,517,200)II: Very weakAnkaraTurkeyNotes:(*) Shaking intensity according to the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) and estimated using seismic models.User-reports for this quakeThere are no user reports for this quake yet.If you felt it, be the first to report it!Get the Android appCompare 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.

When aftershocks are detected, we will update this section.What are aftershocks?Larger earthquakes (above magnitude 5 or so) such as this one are usually followed by smaller ones known as aftershocks that occur in the same area during the days, weeks, months or even years after the main shock.[More info]What about this quake?Based on its magnitude, the fault that was active during the quake likely ruptured beneath a surface area of approximately 6 km2 (2 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 4 km (3 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)May 24, 2026 04:26 am (Istanbul)4 minutes ago4.810 km0 km - This quakeAdana, 43 km NE of Kadirli, Osmaniye, TurkeyMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 56 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 4,000 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 7 or higher: 0.02 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 62.5 years)Mag. 6 or higher: 0.04 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 25 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 0.55 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 1.8 years)Mag. 4 or higher: 42 quakes per year (or 3.5 quakes per month)Mag. 3 or higher: 268 quakes per year (or 22.3 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 1,500 quakes per year (or 4 quakes per day)Mag. 1 or higher: 4,000 quakes per year (or 10.8 quakes per day)The area where this quake occurred has a high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 2 quakes above magnitude 7 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 60 to 65 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
