An earthquake of magnitude 5.7 struck Crete, Greece, on Wednesday, the nation’s Geodynamic Institute stated.
There have been no fast experiences of accidents or harm.
The European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) earlier registered the tremor at 6.1. Egyptian authorities reported that the quake was felt in a few of the nation’s cities.
Akis Tselentis, director of the Geodynamic Institute who was in Crete, stated that the authorities gave a revised studying of 5.7 from 5.6 earlier. “I felt it,” he informed Greece’s Skai TV.
“Thankfully it was in the sea. The area is already burdened (with earlier tremors) and if it were inland there could have been damage,” he stated.
The quake was at a depth of 80 km (49.7 miles), the EMSC stated. The Greek Geodynamic Institute stated that the depth was 42.7 km.
