Significant magnitude 5.5 earthquake 19 km northeast of Erbaa, Turkey An earthquake of magnitude 5.5 occurred only 4 minutes ago 19 km northeast of Erbaa, Turkey, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported.
The quake hit at a moderately shallow depth of 35. km beneath the epicenter near Erbaa, Erbaa District, Tokat, Turkey, early morning on Friday, March 13th, 2026, at 3:35 am local time. 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 citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 5.5 earthquake as well. A third agency, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), reported the same quake at magnitude 5.5.
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 Erbaa (pop. 52,200) located 19 km from the epicenter, Niksar (pop. 49,900) 28 km away, Tasova (pop. 19,300) 35 km away, Kumru (pop. 32,200) 45 km away, Carsamba (pop. 50,500) 46 km away, Tokat (pop. 129,700) 55 km away, and UEnye (pop. 77,600) 61 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Turhal (pop. 110,900) located 71 km from the epicenter.
