A light tremor measuring 4.4 on the Richter scale shook the island of Crete, at 01:14 on Wednesday, according to the Geodynamics Institute of Athens’ National Observatory.

The President of the Earthquake Planning & Protection Organisation, Efthymios Lekkas told radio “Athina984FM” that he estimated more tremors would follow after the 4.4R magnitude quake that rocked Athens, late Monday night. “I believe that the activity (seismic) will continue given the fact that there are small faults in the region”, he said.

A 4,4R magnitude earthquake shook Athens at 22:25′ and it lasted for 6 seconds, according to the official report by the Institute of Geodynamics of Athens.
