A new earthquake measuring 3.9 on the Richter scale was recorded in Crete shortly after 18:30 on Friday evening, with an epicenter 2 km southwest of Arkalochori, in the quake-stricken municipality Minoa Pediados at Heraklion, according to Athens National Observatory's Geodynamics Institute.
A string of aftershocks has been jolting the region after a 5.8 Richter earthquake in the vicinity shook the island of Crete on September 27, when one man was killed and nine were injured.
Arkalochori homes sustained heavy damage and are unsafe. Armed Forces, volunteers and members of the Hellenic Red Cross set up a temporary tent camp.
