ISTANBUL, Turkey (NTV) – A wave of seismic activity rattled numerous provinces of Turkey on 8 November 2026. According to the Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) and the Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute, at least thirty‑three separate tremors were detected from early morning until late afternoon.

The AFAD list shows earthquakes ranging from magnitude 1.1 to 5.2, with epicentres spread from the Mediterranean coast to the interior of Anatolia. The strongest event, recorded at 08:24 local time, struck the Kuşadası basin in Aydın Province with a magnitude of 5.2 and a shallow depth of 7 km. A second significant quake hit the Fethiye region of Muğla Province at 08:32, reaching magnitude 5.0 at a depth of almost 20 km.

Other notable tremors included:
• A magnitude 4.2 quake near Yeşilyurt in Malatya Province at 08:30, depth 27 km.
• A magnitude 4.1 event close to Sındırgı in Balıkesir Province at 09:04, depth 27 km.
• A magnitude 3.9 tremor in the Kuşadası offshore area at 08:24, depth 7 km (AFAD).
• A magnitude 3.8 quake near the Fethiye coast (Muğla) at 08:32, depth 19.9 km.

AFAD also recorded several shallow, low‑magnitude shocks in western Turkey, including multiple events in Balıkesir (Sındırgı) between 05:08 and 09:04, and a magnitude 2.0 tremor near Gölyaka (Düzce) at 05:23.

The Kandilli Observatory published a parallel list, confirming many of the same events and adding a few offshore tremors in the Aegean Sea. The Kandilli data show a magnitude 5.2 quake in the Kusadası (Ege Denizi) basin at 11:24, matching AFAD’s offshore record, and a magnitude 5.0 shock near Simav (Kütahya) at 11:16, depth 15 km.

In total, the Kandilli list documents thirty‑three events, with magnitudes ranging from 1.1 to 5.2 and depths from 0.1 km to 85 km. Several of the strongest quakes were felt by residents in nearby towns, though no immediate reports of damage or casualties have been released.

Both agencies continue to monitor the situation and have reminded the public to stay alert, especially in seismically active regions. The frequent tremors underscore the ongoing seismic risk in Turkey, which sits on complex fault systems linking the Anatolian, Arabian and Eurasian plates.
