An earthquake measuring 5.7 on the Richter scale occurred at 06:18am on Friday off Crete<\/b>.<\/p>\n
The earthquake, described as “very strong”<\/b>, was recorded in the sea area 25 kilometers south-southwest of the village of Goudouras, in the Lassithi<\/b> regional unit of Crete, or 405 kilometers south-southeast of the capital, according to data from the Geodynamic Institute of National Observatory of Athens.<\/b><\/p>\n
There is no report of damage to the area’s fire services, and there is a long sequence of aftershocks.<\/p>\n
The earthquake was discussed on ERTnews by Ethymios Lekkas, president of the OASP. <\/b>He said, “I think it is an earthquake that would have been felt over a wide range in Crete and in Kasos and Karpathos, but we don’t have more data at the moment. We are basically waiting for the recordings so we can assess the whole situation.”<\/p>\n
Lassithi deputy regional governor Yiannis Androulakis<\/b>, shortly after the strong earthquake that woke up residents, told ERTnews: “The earthquake was felt throughout Eastern Crete. We have already contacted the Municipality of Ierapetra since the focal point was south of the Municipality of Ierapetra.<\/p>\n
We are waiting to see if there are any issues, problems and issues. We have already put the civil protection of the Regional Unit on standby, so we are waiting for developments. It’s had a duration, we’re used to earthquakes in general and we trust all the building codes that are in place. But there are also areas with older houses, where in cooperation with the municipalities we will see if there is a problem.”<\/b> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
