Seismic activity rocks Laconia
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
A strong earthquake measuring 5.7 on the Richter scale which occured undersea east of the Peloponesse, early Friday, shook areas of Southern Greece.
The quake struck at 6:45 a.m. local time with an epicenter located 85 kilometers beneath the seabed, between the Peloponnese and the island of Milos, about 140 kilometers south of Athens. It rattled southern Greece and was widely felt in the capital. There were no immediate reports of damages or injuries and no tsunami warnings were issued.
The tremor was followed by two aftershocks measuring 4,7 and 2,7 on the Richter scale.
Seismologists believe this was most probably the main earthquake. It was an intermediate-depth earthquake which caused no damages because it occurred under the sea bed, far from residential areas.
