An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.3 struck off the coast of western Turkey on Saturday, according to the country's Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD).

Axar.az reports citing Daily Sabah.
The quake struck Izmir's Karaburun district at 10:50 p.m. local time (0850GMT), the authority said. The quake followed a previous earthquake of 4.2 magnitude which struck at 10:33 p.m. (1933GMT).
Effects of the quake have been felt on Turkey's west coast, especially in Izmir and nearby provinces.
No casualties or damage have been reported so far.
