A magnitude 5 earthquake struck Tuesday night on the Greek island of Evia, 56 kilometers northeast of Athens, according to the Athens Geodynamic Observatory.
So far no injuries or damage have been reported, according to local media.
The earthquake, whose epicenter is located to the east of the island of Euboea and at a depth of 9 km, occurred at 20:06 GMT, according to the same source.
It was particularly felt on the island and in Attica, an agglomeration of Athens, according to local media.
Other earthquakes registered on Tuesday
This is the fourth and strongest earthquake that occurred this Tuesday and registered with the same epicenter in Euboea: the first earthquake of 4.8 was registered at 04:32 GMT followed by two others of 4.1 and 4.2 respectively almost one hour later (05:23 and 05:24 GMT).
Located on several geological fault lines, Greece is regularly hit by earthquakes that sometimes cause casualties and property damage.
In October 2021, a 6.3 earthquake on the island of Crete caused property damage but no casualties. But in October 2020, a magnitude 7 earthquake in the Aegean Sea killed two people on the Greek island of Samos and more than 100 in the nearby coastal city of Izmir in Turkey.
