The earthquake's epicenter was near the town of Golkaya, situated in the Düzce province, about 200km east of Istanbul.
The tremor was felt in many nearby provinces, including Istanbul, Ankara, Kocaeli, Sakarya, Kastamonu, and Bursa.
The earthquake caused a power outage in many regions in Düzce, according to local reports.
Türkiye’s Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu said that there had been no information about the loss of life.
But Health Minister Fahrettin Koca said later that at least 22 people were injured, including one seriously, after jumping from a height.
In 1999, Düzce was hit by a significant 7.2 magnitude earthquake, which caused damage and at least 845 fatalities.
A significant number of deaths were attributed to traditional heaters causing fires and related smoke effects. (ILKHA)
