An earthquake of magnitude 5.7 struck Crete, Greece, on Wednesday, the nation’s Geodynamic Institute stated.
There have been no speedy studies of accidents or harm.
The European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) earlier registered the tremor at 6.1. Egyptian authorities reported the quake was felt in a few of the nation’s cities.
Akis Tselentis, director of the Geodynamic Institute who was in Crete, stated authorities gave a revised studying of 5.7 from 5.6 earlier. “I felt it,” he informed Greece’s Skai TV.
“Fortunately it was within the sea. The world is already burdened (with earlier tremors) and if it had been inland there may have been harm,” he stated.
The quake was at a depth of 80 km (49.7 miles), the EMSC stated.
Greece’s Geodynamic Institute stated the depth was 42.7 km.
