An earthquake measuring 4.2 on the Richter scale struck the central Anatolian town of Afyon on Friday, the state-run Anatolian news agency quoted seismologists as saying. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
Earthquakes are a near-daily experience in many parts of Turkey.
A moderate tremor, with a 4.8-magnitude, shook Afyon last week. Two massive earthquakes killed at least 18,000 people and destroyed hundreds of thousands of homes in northwestern Turkey in 1999.
