A earthquake measuring 5.9 on the Richter Scale was recorded in Turkey this morning.
About 15 people were brought to hospitals with minor injuries or heart attacks brought on by the quake, which shook the Aegean port city of Izmir early this morning, CNN-Turk reported.
The governor of Izmir province said there were no immediate reports of deaths. He said five buildings were damaged in Izmir, Turkey's third-largest city.
The quake was centred in Seferihisar, Turkey, but was felt in Istanbul and the Greek islands of Chios and Mytilini near the Turkish coast. Seferihisar is 190 miles south of Istanbul.
Three quakes of similar magnitudes shook Izmir earlier this week.
