Magnitude 4.5 earthquake strikes near Niksar, Tokat, Turkey 4.5 quake 21 Sep 7:09 pm (GMT +3) A very shallow magnitude 4.5 earthquake was reported early evening near Niksar, Tokat, Turkey.
According to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the quake hit on Tuesday, September 21st, 2021, at 7:09 pm local time at a very shallow depth of 0 km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the Kandilli Oservatory and Earthquake Research Institute in Istanbul (KOERI-RETMC), which listed it as a magnitude 4.4 earthquake.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Niksar (pop. 49,900) located 8 km from the epicenter, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Erbaa (pop. 52,200) located 26 km from the epicenter, Tokat Province (pop. 129,700) 40 km away, Kumru (pop. 32,200) 46 km away, Korgan (pop. 16,700) 49 km away, and Taşova (pop. 19,300) 49 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Turhal (pop. 110,900) located 70 km from the epicenter, and Ünye (pop. 77,600) 70 km away.
