5.4 magnitude earthquake rattles southern Greece; no injuries, damage reported
Greek media reported the earthquake was felt from Athens to Crete
An strong earthquake rattled parts of southern Greece on Saturday, with no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
A tremor with a magnitude of 5.4 and a depth of almost 58 km (36 miles) occurred at 5.16am in the sea between the Peloponnese and the island of Crete, the Athens Geodynamic Institute reported.
Greek media reported the earthquake was felt from Athens to Crete.
It was “about five seconds long, quite strong even in the basement of a building,” one witness in the city of Chania on Crete, wrote on the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) testimony board.
