A 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit southern Turkey early Monday and was felt across Syria, Jordan, and Israel, among other neighboring countries.
Preliminary information from the U.S. Geological Survey indicates the quake originated in Gaziantep, which is located in Turkey’s southeastern region and is a major provincial capital.
It was centered approximately 11 miles deep, according to USGS. A strong 6.7 temblor rumbled about 10 minutes later.
