Turkiye, Greece: A magnitude-4.7 offshore earthquake occurs in the Aegean Sea off Mugla Province at around 11:49 July 9

A magnitude-4.7 earthquake occurred in the Aegean Sea off the coast of Mugla Province in Turkiye at around 11:49 July 9. The epicenter was about 20 km (12 miles) south of Marmaris. The tremor occurred at a depth of about 20 km (12 miles), and light shaking was probably felt in parts of Mugla Province close to the epicenter, as well as light-to-weak shaking throughout parts of southwestern Turkiye and Greece's Dodecanese Islands. There have been no initial reports of damage or casualties as a result of the earthquake; however, significant damage is unlikely. It could take several hours until authorities can conduct comprehensive damage assessments, especially in remote areas. Light aftershocks are likely over the coming days. The event has not prompted any tsunami advisories.

Officials may temporarily shut down transportation infrastructure in the tremor zone to check for damage. Minor disruptions could occur during shutdowns, but service will likely resume quickly if no damage is found. Utility outages are possible, particularly near the earthquake's epicenter.
