Magnitude 6.1 earthquake hits western Turkiye, causing buildings to collapse
A strong earthquake shook western Turkiye on Monday (October 27, 2025), causing at least three buildings that were damaged in a previous tremor to collapse, officials said. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
The magnitude 6.1 quake was centred in the town of Sindirgi in Balikesir province, according to the Disaster and Emergency Management agency, AFAD. It struck at 10.48 p.m. local time at a depth of 5.99 km.
The quake, which was followed by several aftershocks, was felt in Istanbul, and the nearby provinces of Bursa, Manisa and Izmir.
At least three unoccupied buildings and a two-story shop collapsed in Sindirgi, Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said. The structures had already been damaged in a previous earthquake.
Two people were admitted to hospitals due to panic-related falls, the Minister added.
“So far, we have not identified any loss of life, but we are continuing our assessment,” Sindirgi's district administrator Dogukan Koyuncu told the state-run Anadolu Agency.
Many people remained outdoors too afraid to return to their homes, Haberturk television reported.
Sindirgi also was struck in August by a magnitude 6.1 earthquake, which killed one person and injured dozens of other people. Since then, the region around Balikesir had been hit by smaller shocks.
Turkiye sits on top of major fault lines, and earthquakes are frequent.
In 2023, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake killed more than 53,000 people in Turkiye and destroyed or damaged hundreds of thousands of buildings in 11 southern and southeastern provinces. Another 6,000 people were killed in the northern parts of neighbouring Syria.
