Earthquake and dozens of aftershocks in Amphilochia

An earthquake with a magnitude of 4.6 on the Richter scale was recorded in Amphilochia at 2:30 tonight.

The epicenter of the earthquake is located 12 km north/northeast of the city. The depth of the source of the initial shock is estimated at 17.8 km. It was followed by dozens of aftershocks, according to data from the Euro-Mediterranean Institute.

Seismic activity was also felt in other areas. No earthquake damage has been reported. Seismologist Akis Celentis notes:

“Given the seismic history of this region, the likelihood of a pre-seismic action is low, but to be 100% sure, we need to see the development of the phenomenon in the next 24 hours.”

He urged residents to “respectfully follow known seismic precautions.”
