A powerful magnitude-6.2 earthquake struck the Aegean Sea near the coast of Greece on Thursday, according to the China Earthquake Networks Center (CENC). The quake occurred at a depth of 70 kilometers beneath the seabed.
The tremor was felt across several regions in Greece, with residents reporting significant shaking. Authorities have not yet reported any casualties or major damage.
The Aegean Sea is a seismically active area due to the interaction of the Eurasian and African tectonic plates. Earthquakes are common in this region, making continuous monitoring essential for public safety.
Local officials are assessing the situation and urging citizens to remain cautious. Emergency services are on alert to respond to any potential aftershocks or related incidents.
Further updates are expected as seismologists analyze the quake’s impact on the region.
