The arrest of a 37-year-old man of Palestinian origin was carried out this afternoon, in Agios Nikolaos in Crete, by officers of the National Intelligence Service (EYP) and the Directorate for Combating Special Violent Crimes, as part of an investigation into terrorist activity and possible connections with persons who have recently concerned the Cypriot authorities.

The strong earthquake tremors that occurred on Sunday afternoon in North Evia caused significant problems, with the authorities recording damage to homes, shops and infrastructure, as well as landslides at various points on the road network.

A man wanted by Interpol was arrested in Aigio. The 55-year-old, according to information from tempo24.news, had committed murder in 1999, killing a Greek in Australia where he was residing.
