A magnitude 5.3 earthquake shook Türkiye's Niğde province on Saturday, the Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) said.

The quake took place at a depth of 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) at 3:27 p.m. local time (1227GMT), centered in the Bor district of the city.

There were no reported incidents of collapses, deaths, or injuries, AFAD director Yunus Sezer said.

Vice President Fuat Oktay said response teams are on the ground to assess any damage.

"There is no negative situation at the moment. May Allah protect our country and our nation from all kinds of disasters," he said on Twitter.

The earthquake comes as Türkiye grapples with the aftermath of the devastating Feb. 6 quakes that devastated the region, centered in southern Kahramanmaraş province, that left over 44,000 people dead.

The 7.7 and 7.6 magnitude quakes along with Kahramanmaraş and struck 10 other provinces, including Adana, Adıyaman, Diyarbakır, Elazığ, Hatay, Gaziantep, Kilis, Malatya, Osmaniye, and Şanlıurfa.

They have affected more than 13 million people.
