A 4.5 on the Richter scale earthquake was recorded at 17.01 (15.01 GMT) northeast of the Miamous site on the large Aegean island of Crete, or some 40 kilometers south of the port city of Iraklio.

Yet, another earthquake shook Thiva - Thebes early Thursday morning.

The quake affected Thebes with a magnitude of 3.3 on the Richter scale magnitude and occurred at 06:00 in the morning.

The epicenter was reported 2 kilometers south of Thebes, at a depth of 12.4 kilometers, according to the Geodynamic Institute.

It is recalled that Thebes has been at the center of continuous seismic activity for a year now, with hundreds of earthquakes that are located at a very shallow depth.

The North Aegean Trench, one of the largest faults in Greece, is believed to have spawned the strong earthquake that occurred, at noon on Sunday, off Halkidiki.
