Istanbul, Ankara – In the early hours of 5 November 2026, the Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) and the Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute released updated lists of seismic events that struck Turkey after midnight. The data show a cluster of minor tremors spread across the country, with magnitudes ranging from 0.9 to 2.9 and depths between 0.8 km and 35 km.

According to AFAD’s live feed, the first quake of the night occurred at 00:04 local time near Simav in Kütahya Province (latitude 39.225°, longitude 28.967°, depth 0.8 km) with a magnitude of 1.2. This was followed by several other low‑intensity events, including a 1.9‑magnitude tremor at 01:09 near Sumbas, Osmaniye (37.705°, 36.110°, depth 7.1 km) and a 1.6‑magnitude shock at 01:38 in Kahramanmaraş (37.874°, 36.694°, depth 7.0 km). The latest AFAD entry for the night listed a magnitude 1.3 quake at 01:25 near Yazıhan, Malatya (38.582°, 38.115°, depth 26.9 km).

The Kandilli Observatory’s parallel list recorded a slightly different set of events, with the strongest being a magnitude 2.9 quake at 01:39 near the Girit Adası (Aegean Sea) offshore (34.486°, 82.825°, depth 5.5 km). Other notable tremors included a 1.8‑magnitude quake at 02:05 in Kayalıdere‑Simav, Kütahya (39.262°, 28.878°, depth 11.7 km) and a 1.6‑magnitude event at 01:50 near Turğut‑Ula, Muğla (37.144°, 28.760°, depth 13.5 km). All recorded magnitudes remained below the threshold that typically triggers automatic alarms for structural damage.

Neither agency reported injuries, casualties, or significant disruptions to utilities or transport networks. Local authorities in the affected provinces, including Istanbul, Ankara, İzmir, and the smaller districts of Çanakkale, Afyonkarahisar, and Adıyaman, issued standard safety advisories, reminding residents to stay clear of damaged structures and to report any felt shaking to the nearest emergency centre.

Seismic experts note that Turkey lies on several active fault lines, making it prone to frequent low‑intensity tremors. While the November 5 events were modest, they underscore the importance of continuous monitoring by AFAD and Kandilli. Both agencies maintain real‑time dashboards that feed data to the public and to emergency responders, helping to ensure rapid assessment should a larger quake occur.

The agencies will continue to update their lists as aftershocks are detected. Residents are encouraged to keep abreast of official communications and to follow recommended earthquake‑proofing measures, especially in older buildings located near known fault zones.
