One dead as quake shakes Turkey's Mediterranean coast

At least one person has died after a 5.8-magnitude earthquake struck Turkey's west coast in the middle of the night.

The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre said the quake struck in the early hours of Tuesday, with epicentre near the coastal town of Marmaris, just a few kilometres from the Greek island of Rhodes.

Marmaris' governor, Idris Akbiyik, said in a post on X that a 14-year-old girl was hospitalised with panic attacks and died shortly afterwards.

He said 69 people were injured after jumping from their homes during the tremor. No structural damage has been reported in Marmaris itself.
