The German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) reported that a 6.36-magnitude earthquake struck Greece on Saturday, marking the second seismic event to hit the country within less than 24 hours.
According to the center, the earthquake’s epicenter was located at a depth of 10 kilometers, a level considered shallow and typically capable of producing stronger surface shaking.
Earlier on Friday, Greece had recorded another quake, measured at 4.4 magnitude on the Richter scale, which struck the region of Achaia in western Greece.
As of now, no reports of damage or casualties have been issued by local authorities.
Greece lies in one of Europe’s most seismically active regions and routinely experiences tremors, though quakes of this intensity occurring within a single day are less common.
