Consecutive Earthquakes Strike Greece, Tremors Felt in Athens
Two consecutive earthquakes centered on Evia Island occurred in Greece, with tremors also felt in Athens and its surroundings. Initial assessments report damage to some buildings, but no injuries have been reported.
A series of earthquakes that struck Greece on Sunday around midday were also felt in the capital Athens and nearby settlements. The epicenter was reported to be Evia Island, where some buildings have sustained damage according to initial assessments.
Seismological data recorded the first earthquake at 12:58, measuring a magnitude of 4.8. The tremor occurred at a relatively shallow depth, estimated to be about 5 kilometers.
A few minutes later, a stronger earthquake was recorded. The second tremor, with a magnitude of 5.2, had its epicenter approximately 2 kilometers east-southeast of Prokopi and also occurred at an estimated depth of around 5 kilometers.
Local authorities continue damage assessment efforts in the region while closely monitoring seismic activity. According to initial information, there have been no injuries caused by the earthquakes.
While brief panic was experienced in Athens and its surroundings where the tremors were felt, teams are working to clarify the impact on Evia. Monitoring of aftershocks in the area is ongoing.
Greece has recently been in the spotlight due to moderate earthquakes felt in various regions. The Aegean-origin tremors, sometimes felt in parts of Turkey as well, have once again reminded both countries of their shared earthquake reality.
