Despite the force of the shocks, there have been no emergency reports from authorities of the destruction.
According to the European Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC), the quake occurred at a depth of 80 km.
According to the Athens Institute of Geodynamics, it had a magnitude of 5.5 and the quake was also felt in the Egyptian capital, Cairo.
Before that, the EMSC revised the earthquake’s magnitude from 6 to 5.4.
Recall that last year in the fall, as a result of an earthquake in Crete with a magnitude of 5.8, dozens of houses, temples were destroyed, and one person died.
That devastating earthquake on September 27, 2021 was felt not only in Heraklion, but throughout the island, as well as others, such as Santorini. In addition, intense aftershocks were recorded.
